About David
David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people dealing with grief, self-esteem, career change, stress, anxiety, relationships, and other common adult concerns.
He frames problems as part of a wider life context. That means he looks at relationships, work, discrimination, and other pressures that shape how someone feels. Sessions aim to identify strengths and simple, workable steps rather than only talk about feelings.
David has worked across public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That background informs how he helps people navigate transitions like starting a job, returning to school, or managing a chronic health issue. He also spends time with adults dealing with bereavement, long-term caregiving stress, and isolation.
His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice that means sessions mix open listening with goal-setting and concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.
People usually leave sessions with specific actions to try between meetings. He treats counseling as a collaborative effort - both person and counselor decide what to focus on. The overall aim is clearer thinking, fewer barriers to daily functioning, and practical ways to move forward.
David commonly supports clients struggling with identity and discrimination issues, life purpose questions, and the stress of big changes. He works in English and practices throughout Texas as an LPC.
How David’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist helps people clarify what matters to them and supports them as they decide next steps. It is useful for identity questions and emotional struggles where understanding matters more than quick fixes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It introduces simple exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach often helps with stress, worry, and persistent negative thoughts.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes that move someone toward their goals. Sessions emphasize what is already working and build short-term steps to get results quickly, which can be helpful during career transitions or when coping with grief.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. David will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as needs evolve and practical tools are added or removed.
