About Kamia

Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. Kamia focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Kamia uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing stress and what can change. She draws on Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

When trauma or intense emotional reactions are present, Kamia integrates Trauma-Focused approaches and skills-based tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods aim to help people manage overwhelming feelings and build steady routines. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want short-term goals and concrete next steps.

Sessions emphasize real-world problems like communication breakdowns, parenting dilemmas, blended family dynamics, and issues around attachment or adoption and foster care. Kamia also addresses eating and body image concerns, codependency, and problems that often follow separation or divorce.

Clients can expect practical strategies, clear goals, and collaborative planning. Conversations include skill practice for managing emotions, improving communication, and making changes that fit everyday life. Kamia keeps language simple and direct so people can apply what they learn between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's priorities and uses active listening and open questions to guide each session. It helps people clarify what matters to them and set goals that feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kamia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing brief solution-focused steps with CBT exercises or adding DBT skills for emotion regulation.

Session logistics should be checked before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to arrange, and reduce travel time so work or study breaks can be used for appointments. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your day-to-day life.
