About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of experience helping adults manage life’s hard moments. She meets people where they are and focuses on building practical skills. Sessions emphasize respect, curiosity, and steady support.
Patricia helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and emotional reactions that keep stress and anxiety alive. She works with anger, depression, low self-esteem, panic, and social anxiety. She also addresses life changes and concerns about mood or personality patterns that make day-to-day life harder.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative. Patricia treats therapy as a partnership where she listens first and then offers tools and strategies that fit a person’s values and routine. Clients can expect clear suggestions and simple practices to try between sessions.
Patricia pays attention to safety and difficult behaviors such as self-harm and severe panic, and she helps people find ways to cope and reduce risk while building longer-term skills. She also supports people exploring attachment concerns, dependent or avoidant patterns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are designed to leave people feeling more capable and confident.
Patricia aims to help clients handle current problems and build habits that improve well-being over time. She uses plain language and steadiness to make change feel manageable.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Patricia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying thought patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going and then testing and changing those thoughts through practical exercises. This helps with panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry.Another approach centers on building behavioral skills - small, repeatable actions that reduce reactivity to stress and improve mood over time. These strategies are useful for anger, depression, self-harm urges, and daily coping with life changes. Each technique is explained in simple terms and practiced step by step.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work together with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, values, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging let people send quick updates and try skills between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or busy family rhythms while keeping continuity of care.
