About David

David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He focuses on issues such as grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with major life changes.

He approaches counseling as a collaborative process. He helps people see how relationships, life events, and daily environments shape their struggles. Then he helps clients identify strengths and practical steps they can try to improve things.

David has worked in public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That range gives him experience with career transitions, students navigating higher education, and people dealing with chronic illness or public systems. He also supports those managing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

In sessions he uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused ideas. That means conversations center on the person’s goals, testing small changes, and finding clearer ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. He aims to be practical and goal-oriented while adapting to each person’s needs.

People who come to him often want help sorting through relationship strain, making career moves, or coping with loss. He works with adults in Texas and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests small experiments to change unhelpful responses. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and near-term goals to build momentum and notice progress.

Finding the right approach is something to decide together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative conversation guides whether the work leans more toward CBT exercises, solution-focused planning, or client-centered conversation.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid commute time. Many people find virtual sessions help them maintain consistency during career changes, caregiving periods, or times of grief. Confirm the available session formats when you schedule so they match your daily routine.
