About Dina
Dina Garza, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, has eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and addiction. Dina emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings a strengths-focused approach to sessions.
Dina uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and to build concrete coping skills. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and emotion regulation during times of distress.
For relationship concerns she refers to elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and manage conflict. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past events are interfering with daily life. Sessions combine short-term strategies with longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She invites people to notice strengths they already have and to try small experiments between sessions. The aim is to reduce symptoms and increase practical functioning in day-to-day life.
Dina lists additional focus areas such as body image, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, disordered eating patterns, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and career concerns.

How Dina Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood management. Gottman Method elements focus on communication skills and managing conflict in relationships. These techniques help people improve interactions and reduce repeated arguments.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. This can be helpful for trauma responses, stress, and ongoing anxiety. Dina combines these approaches with practical exercises and short-term goals to address symptoms and everyday functioning.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the client’s needs. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
