Anthony Garza, LPC

Anthony Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or big life changes. He also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, and identity-related issues. Anthony focuses on helping clients notice what matters most. He listens, asks clear questions, and points out patterns that often stay hidden. Sessions are practical and aimed at uncovering the next steps someone can take. He strikes a balance between offering perspective and giving space to be heard. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on client-centered work to build a trusting relationship, and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and attachment come up. These methods are mixed to fit each person’s needs rather than a single formula. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals, decisions, and coping skills. Anthony often helps people sort priorities, manage strong emotions, and try small experiments that lead to noticeable change. He frames progress as steady steps rather than quick fixes. Outside of session style, he brings experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, body image, blended family issues, and aging-related stress. He aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of him, keeping the focus on practical ways to move forward.

How Anthony’s Approaches Work Online

Anthony often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. He also uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person sets the pace and priorities. When relationship or attachment issues come up, emotionally focused ideas guide work on feelings and connection. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will talk with each person about goals, worries, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so techniques match real-life needs. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and talk more deeply, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework reminders, or ongoing support between meetings. These options provide flexibility in how often and how someone wants to connect, while keeping attention on practical steps and steady progress.
