About David
David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, career changes, stress, and relationship and family concerns. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings.
He has worked across public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That range shapes how he looks at problems - not as isolated issues but as linked to life circumstances, roles, and systems. He listens for what is getting in the way and where strengths already exist.
His style is straightforward and collaborative. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the person and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and test thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Typical work includes making simple experiments to change routines, practicing specific skills for coping and communication, and setting short-term goals. He often supports adults facing career transitions, students in higher education, and people handling chronic illness or grief.
Sessions emphasize practical problem-solving and regular review of what helps. People leave with clear next steps and ways to track progress. For language, sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions use that approach to let the person set goals and bring the issues they want to work on. It supports exploring feelings and identifying what matters most in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress or low mood. Online CBT sessions often include brief experiments, thought records, and skill practice between meetings to test what changes help most.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals. In remote sessions this can mean short, practical homework tasks and check-ins to measure progress week to week.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods best match goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what proves useful.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions help keep momentum between appointments and make it simpler to try small changes in everyday contexts.
