About Kathy

Kathy Garza is an LPC licensed in Texas with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Kathy works primarily in English and bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Kathy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as her main framework. She helps people break distressing thought patterns and test new behaviors. Sessions are practical and problem-focused with exercises to try between meetings.

She also supports people coping with caregiver strain and compassion fatigue. That work centers on realistic self-care strategies, boundary-setting, and managing overwhelming responsibilities. Kathy helps clients identify small changes that reduce daily exhaustion.

Kathy addresses trauma-related concerns with attention to safety and paced progress. She helps people manage panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and reactions to abuse using stepwise coping skills. The aim is to reduce symptoms that get in the way of everyday life.

Her additional areas include adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and immigration-related stress. Kathy invites clients to bring concrete goals and offers clear tools they can use between sessions.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

Sheet 2

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote care

Many clients work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood through step-by-step changes in thinking and activity.

For trauma-related concerns, Kathy emphasizes paced coping strategies and grounding skills. These approaches focus on stabilizing symptoms and building tolerance for difficult memories in gradual steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathy will discuss your goals and preferences, then adjust techniques based on what helps you make steady progress. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to prioritize and when to introduce new strategies.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten routine check-ins, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care and to apply the same evidence-based techniques used in person.
