About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Patricia also addresses related concerns such as panic attacks, mood disorders, attachment and personality patterns, and self-harm thoughts. Sessions are focused on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels.
Patricia begins by helping people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses straightforward conversation and skill-building exercises to interrupt unhelpful patterns. The work is focused on small, achievable steps people can try between sessions to see what helps in real life.
She describes therapy as a partnership. Patricia offers guidance and tools, and she helps people practice new ways of coping. Clients set goals and measure progress in concrete ways rather than relying on vague promises.
When anger is the issue, Patricia helps people notice triggers, understand the responses that follow, and build alternatives that reduce conflict and regret. For anxiety and panic she focuses on calming techniques and changing worry-driven thinking. For self-esteem and life transitions she helps people clarify values and make decisions that reflect those priorities.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. People who prefer clear steps, straightforward feedback, and exercises to use between sessions may find this style useful. Sessions are conducted in English and are anchored in Patricia's ten years of experience in Texas.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and observable change. One common approach involves identifying and changing the thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety; this means noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying different responses to see what drops the intensity of emotion. Another approach centers on practical coping skills such as breathing and grounding techniques, short behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to handle triggering situations; these tools aim to reduce panic attacks and lower overall reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia works with each client to weigh goals and preferences and then tries methods that fit those aims. That process is collaborative and adjusted as clients test what helps in day-to-day life.
