About Kathy
Kathy Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses related concerns such as panic attacks and feelings of emptiness, and supports people exploring life purpose.
Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions usually involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical ways to change them. Kathy encourages clients to notice small, concrete shifts that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She has worked with people dealing with caregiving strain, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness or pain, communication struggles, control issues, and immigration-related stress. Her background includes supporting those coping with guilt, shame, and recovery from domestic violence and post-traumatic stress.
Kathy emphasizes collaboration in sessions and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than vague advice. That practical focus helps people test new ways of responding to old problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and she sees clients based in Texas. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details through the platform's scheduling process.
How Kathy Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Many of Kathy's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify harmful thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This method focuses on concrete skills such as tracking thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what works.She also uses practical, evidence-based techniques for trauma and post-traumatic stress that emphasize safety, pacing, and grounding exercises to manage intense reactions. For compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, she works on recognition of burnout signs, setting realistic boundaries, and developing short strategies to restore energy and routine.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathy will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed rather than prescribing one fixed path.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life is hectic. Some formats also need less internet bandwidth or let people speak without video, which can be helpful on a tough day. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical choices to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than upend it.
