Dina Garza, LPC

Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and anger. She frames the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day problems.

Her approach is straightforward and skills-oriented. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice physical and emotional reactions before they escalate. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and build concrete steps toward them.

Dina emphasizes collaboration. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and practicing new ways to respond. She points out strengths clients already have and helps put those strengths to work when stress or anger builds.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect mood, relationships, or reactions. That can include paced processing of difficult memories alongside practical coping skills for intense moments. The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are a central concern and couples-style skills are relevant to individual work on communication and trust.

Dina works in English and practices in Texas. She asks people to consider a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to begin shaping goals and a plan for change.
