Patricia De La Garza, LPC

Patricia De La Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Patricia aims to help clients feel more capable and confident in handling daily challenges.

She works with adults to identify the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep problems stuck. Sessions emphasize clear, usable skills that can be practiced between meetings. Patricia adapts her approach to fit each person’s values and life situation.

Therapy is described as a partnership. Patricia listens with curiosity and compassion, and she offers guidance and tools rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. The goal is steady, meaningful changes people can notice in their day-to-day life.

Patricia also helps people facing mood disorders, panic attacks, social anxiety, attachment concerns, and questions of life purpose. She supports people dealing with self-harm thoughts, personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies, and the effects of antisocial or avoidant traits on relationships and functioning.

Her style combines straightforward conversation with goal-focused exercises and practice. She encourages small steps that build confidence. Before beginning, she tailors a plan that fits a person's goals, pacing, and comfort level.

How evidence-based tools translate to online therapy

Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and teaching practical skills. One common focus is helping people notice and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach she uses emphasizes learning and practicing coping skills for panic, anger, and overwhelming emotions so people can manage episodes when they happen.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, values, and everyday life. She adjusts pacing and methods as needed and encourages regular check-ins so the plan stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Remote work also allows for shorter check-ins when days are tight, or longer sessions when a deeper conversation is needed. Discussing format and timing with the therapist helps make sessions practical and sustainable for your routine.
