About Dina
Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation issues. She also supports people coping with anger, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and life changes.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not on jargon or vague promises.
Dina uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Mindfulness practices are used to notice physical tension and slow reactivity. Solution-Focused techniques set short, achievable goals so small wins add up.
She also brings trauma-focused work into sessions when past events are affecting current behavior. The Gottman Method is applied for people who want to improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships. Treatment plans aim to reduce reactivity and increase practical skills for everyday interactions.
Clients can expect clear feedback, short-term goals, and homework exercises they can use at home or at work. Dina encourages open conversation about what is working and what needs to change. To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Dina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing bodily cues and moment-to-moment reactions, which can help reduce impulsive responses to anger or stress.She also uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships. That approach teaches concrete skills for turning high-tension moments into clearer conversations rather than escalating arguments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She monitors what helps and adjusts plans so sessions stay focused and relevant.
