Dina Garza, LPC

Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety and related concerns. She offers straightforward support for day-to-day worries, relationship tension, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps so people can feel steadier sooner.

Dina believes each person knows their life best. She works with clients to build on existing strengths. Sessions often start by identifying small changes that make a real difference in daily life. Over time those changes add up to clearer choices and more control over stressful moments.

Her approach mixes goal-focused techniques with attention to how thoughts, habits, and relationships affect feelings. She uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage unhelpful thinking and to reduce overwhelm. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and measure progress.

Dina also brings trauma-focused perspectives into work with past hurt so people can feel safer in their bodies and relationships. For relationship concerns she draws on elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection. Her style is practical, respectful, and collaborative; she expects clients to play an active role in problem solving.

With eight years of experience in clinical work, Dina aims to make the first steps easier. She encourages people to be curious about small changes and to try approaches that match their values and daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into small parts and tests practical changes to lower distress.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness practices are often brief and aim to create steadiness in daily routines. When past trauma is part of the picture, trauma-focused therapy helps process difficult memories and reduce their hold on current life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family life, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session rhythm will work best.
