About Paola
Paola Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Paola also helps with anger, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and motivation.
Paola uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens to the facts of a situation and helps identify small, doable changes. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on skills that can be used between meetings.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to clarify values and take actions that match them. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of thoughts and feelings.
Paola takes a client-centered stance, so the person sets the goals and pace. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. That combination helps with problems like anger that show up in relationships and at work.
Sessions tend to cover immediate coping strategies and longer term skills. Paola helps people work through attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency issues, guilt and shame, and other life stressors. She supports people aiming to rebuild confidence after difficult events and to find more stable ways of handling strong feelings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Paola often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values, which can reduce the power of anger and avoidance. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and offers concrete tools to change patterns that fuel frustration and reactivity.She also incorporates client-centered skills and motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client check goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so sessions are more practical. Talk with Paola about your schedule and preferences so sessions can be shaped to your everyday life.
