About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Patricia also focuses on concerns such as panic attacks, mood disorders, attachment issues, and questions about life purpose.
She begins by learning how thoughts, feelings, and actions keep problems going. Patricia helps people name unhelpful patterns and builds simple, practical skills to change them. Sessions are collaborative; she offers guidance and tools while clients practice new ways of responding.
Patricia uses straightforward techniques to reduce intense reactions like panic or anger. She teaches breathing and grounding skills for immediate relief and problem-solving steps for longer term challenges. Work can include noticing thinking traps, trying different behaviors, and rehearsing new responses between sessions.
When someone feels stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event, Patricia helps them clarify what matters next. She supports people who struggle with social anxiety, self-harm urges, or low self-love by breaking goals into small, manageable steps. The focus is on useful changes people can try right away.
Her approach is practical and paced to the person’s needs. Patricia encourages regular check-ins and small experiments to see what works. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to outline first steps.
Approaches Patricia Uses and how they fit with online work

Cognitive-based methods involve noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts, which helps with anxiety, self-doubt, and low mood by shifting thinking patterns. Behavioral strategies focus on practicing new actions and habits, which can ease avoidance, social anxiety, and mood symptoms through repeated, manageable steps.She also teaches grounding and breathing skills to manage intense feelings like panic or anger in the moment. Those techniques are brief and practical, useful during times of high stress or when a quick regulation tool is needed. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative part of early sessions; she works with clients to choose methods that match their goals and everyday life demands.
