About Carlos

Carlos Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with four years of counseling experience. He began his career in mental health case management and later completed a master’s degree in clinical psychology, then moved into direct counseling work. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety as well as a range of life challenges. His work tends to be warm and interactive. He treats people with dignity, respect, and compassion. Sessions usually involve listening closely, identifying the problems that feel most pressing, and building practical steps to manage them. Carlos uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and mindfulness techniques to slow things down and increase awareness when emotions feel overwhelming. He has supported people with concerns such as depression, relationship strain, parenting struggles, career decisions, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and chronic illness or pain. He also addresses issues around self-esteem, intimacy, and life purpose. If someone wants to begin, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire so a good fit can be made. After that, scheduling happens based on his availability and the service’s process. Carlos aims to work collaboratively to set clear goals and keep progress practical and doable.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while people describe what feels difficult, which helps them gain clarity and confidence in making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new, more effective responses to stress, anxiety, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. Together they try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since current options are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness and CBT exercises at times that match their daily routine, supporting consistent practice between meetings.
