About David

David Garcia, LPC, is licensed in Texas and has practiced for 15 years. He helps people with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career changes, and stress using practical, goal-focused methods. He works from client-centered and solution-focused perspectives and uses cognitive behavioral techniques when useful.

David draws on experience in public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. He looks at how relationships, life experience, and environment shape problems. He helps clients name strengths and develop realistic strategies for change.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear steps. He asks questions, listens to how problems show up day to day, and helps set achievable goals. He uses straightforward exercises and reflections to test new ways of coping.

He often supports adults dealing with career transitions, students navigating higher education, and people managing grief, chronic illness, or major life changes. He also addresses issues tied to aging, caregiving stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

David integrates client-centered care with solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral ideas to keep sessions practical. He balances exploring personal experience with concrete actions clients can try between meetings. His aim is to help people make steady progress toward their stated goals.

How David’s approaches inform online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and exploring what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values and make decisions that fit their life circumstances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate goals and small steps that produce change. It is useful for people who want concrete, time-limited strategies for coping and problem solving. Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since options are not specified here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit meetings into busy lives, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or weekday evenings. They also let people connect from different locations without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises to work in virtual sessions and focus on skills clients can use between meetings.
