About Kamia

Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Kamia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a compassionate bedside manner in every session.

Her approach is practical and individualized. Kamia listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person's needs. She draws from several methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to help people manage symptoms and solve immediate problems.

Kamia often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and adoption and foster care questions. She also addresses topics like codependency, communication problems, body image, and coping after separation or disaster. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented so progress is easier to track.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Kamia will talk through options, teach concrete skills, and adjust plans as needs change. She frames therapy as a shared process where the person sets goals and the work is paced to their readiness.

Her practice in Texas blends experience with down-to-earth support. People who want direct feedback, practical strategies, and steady encouragement may find her style helpful.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood in sessions. It helps when someone needs space to sort thoughts and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and relationship issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, introduces specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kamia will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and what they hope to change. She treats this as a collaborative decision and adjusts the plan over time if something is not working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that learning CBT or DBT skills and using mindfulness practices transfers well to an online setting, and therapists can guide homework and skill practice between meetings.
