David Garcia, LPC

David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of practice in Texas. He helps people understand how relationships, life events, and surroundings shape their struggles. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away to manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes.

Garcia draws on experience in public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through grief, career shifts, relationship concerns, and issues tied to identity and discrimination. Sessions prioritize clear goals and usable strategies rather than jargon.

His approach centers on empathy and collaboration. He listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people test small changes that feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term planning, so clients can see early progress and adjust next steps. Client-Centered Therapy guides the overall tone of sessions, keeping the person’s priorities at the center of the work. This mix is practical and adaptable to each situation.

People who want straightforward, goal-oriented help with stress, self-esteem, career transitions, grief, or relationship strain may find his style useful. He supports exploration of identity including LGBT concerns and addresses multicultural and aging-related issues as they come up.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the client and the therapist follows the client's pacing and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; this is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, doable steps and measurable short-term goals to create early momentum and change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses options with clients, tries methods that fit the goals, and adjusts based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit a person's daily life and preferences.

Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum between visits. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and let people use techniques from their usual environment.
