Licensed Professional Counselor - Anger and Mood Concerns

  • Client-centered work
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Existential perspective

About Domingo

Domingo Zapata is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems, and also supports issues related to ADHD, addiction, grief, parenting, and LGBTQ concerns.

He started in outpatient mental health at nonprofit behavioral health agencies and has worked in a university setting. That experience shaped a straightforward, practical approach to day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what someone wants to change.

Domingo uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns and test different behaviors. He also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice, and responsibility when people feel stuck.

His style is conversational and direct. He helps people name the patterns that feed anger, resentment, or repeated conflict. Then he helps make small, actionable changes that can reduce flare-ups and improve communication with others.

He is comfortable talking about sensitive topics such as trauma, sexual expression, attachment difficulties, and blended family stress. Domingo offers practical coping tools, thought work, and guided reflection so clients can try new ways of handling tense moments. To start, a short questionnaire and a first session set the initial goals and plan for follow-up work.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Domingo commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can clarify what matters most. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener to map out personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce anger and anxiety through clear exercises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and day-to-day life. Early sessions focus on goals, what has helped in the past, and small exercises to try between meetings so progress can be checked and adjusted.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping follow-ups brief when needed. Since session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, try short skills practice between tasks, or avoid long travel time when balancing work and family commitments.
