About Anthony
Anthony Garza is a licensed professional counselor who helps people looking for clearer direction and more self-awareness. He focuses on understanding what matters to each person and on practical steps to move forward. His style is calm and direct, offering listening along with an outside perspective when decisions feel stuck.
Anthony starts by helping people notice what’s happening in their lives. He uses straightforward questions and reflection to uncover patterns that cause stress, anxiety, or relationship pain.
Background and approach
Once patterns are clear, he works with clients on small, concrete changes they can try between sessions. His experience spans concerns such as grief, addictions, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, career worries, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.
Anthony tailors his approach to the person in front of him rather than relying on a single formula. Clinically, he blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused techniques to help people shift thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity, and deeper life questions.
Anthony has 13 years of counseling experience and works from Texas as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and available in multiple online formats to fit different needs.
How Anthony’s Approaches Work Online
Anthony uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the client’s goals lead the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them find their own answers, which can be useful for concerns like self-esteem, life transitions, and identity questions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday reactions to tough situations. Emotionally-focused techniques are used when relationship patterns or emotional blocks are central; these methods help people notice and shift how they respond to strong feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit those who prefer brief, flexible exchanges or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
