About Kamia
Kamia Esquerra is a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. Kamia also addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family concerns, and related patterns that affect day-to-day family life.
She takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. Conversations are aimed at identifying immediate problems and workable steps to reduce distress. That can mean clarifying communication patterns, building skills to manage strong emotions, or developing plans for difficult parenting moments.
Kamia draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavioral methods to strengthen emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Her background includes a decade of work with people affected by domestic violence, separation and divorce, eating and body image issues, and family-of-origin concerns. Kamia has supported those coping with control and codependency patterns, commitment questions, and the stress of blended family life.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. The focus is on skills and small changes that make daily life easier. People seeking help with parenting strain, complicated family ties, or the aftermath of trauma will find a clinician who centers concrete problem solving and steady support.
How sessions work
How approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs a place to make sense of family conflicts or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include identifying thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes. CBT can help with anxiety, communication problems, and managing strong reactions in family situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, or codependency patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This choice may shift as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or a session without needing to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals often tailor pace and homework to what fits a client’s daily routine.
