About Kathy
Kathy Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Kathy emphasizes practical steps that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She works from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy orientation, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems going and introduce simple strategies to change them. Kathy also draws on evidence-based techniques to address panic, post-traumatic stress, and related concerns.
Kathy has about three years of professional experience in clinical settings. She has supported people facing caregiver strain and compassion fatigue, and those navigating adoption and foster care-related issues. She believes clients bring important strengths and knowledge about their own lives.
In sessions she aims to be practical and encouraging. Conversations identify small, doable changes and build skills for handling overwhelming moments. Kathy frames treatment as a collaborative process where goals come from the client and steps are agreed together.
To start, she asks clients to share what matters most to them and what they hope to see change. Over time she tracks progress and adjusts tools as needed so the work stays relevant to real life.
How Kathy’s approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to change them. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems by breaking issues into manageable steps and practicing new ways of responding.Another useful technique is skill-building for caregivers and people facing compassion fatigue. These sessions concentrate on pacing, boundary-setting, and short daily practices to reduce burnout and increase resilience. For trauma-related concerns, Kathy uses practices that emphasize grounding and stabilizing reactions before moving into deeper memory work when a client is ready.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathy works with each person to outline goals, try methods, and adjust based on what actually helps. She partners with clients to pick tools that match their needs and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.
