About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, attachment issues, and concerns like self-harm and social anxiety.
Patricia focuses on identifying the thought patterns and emotional reactions that keep problems going. She talks through how beliefs and behaviors interact, and she helps people learn small, practical skills to change those patterns. Sessions emphasize straightforward tools rather than abstract theory.
Therapy is treated as a partnership. Patricia describes her role as offering guidance, tools, and encouragement while clients decide the direction and pace. She aims to help people build confidence in managing everyday stresses and stronger emotional responses.
In sessions she breaks issues into manageable steps. That might mean noticing automatic thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, or practicing different ways of responding to heated moments. The approach is focused on skill-building so people can try new responses between appointments.
Patricia works in English and practices in Texas. She asks people to consider concrete goals at the start of work together, and she supports progress through direct feedback and practical homework exercises. This profile is written for adults wanting clearer ways to handle anger, stress, and related concerns.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on thinking patterns and behavior change. One common approach is behavioral experiments, which test unhelpful beliefs through small real-world tasks to see what actually happens. This can help reduce anger driven by rigid expectations or automatic reactions. Another approach emphasizes cognitive work, helping people notice and reframe automatic thoughts that escalate stress and resentment. These methods are practical and aimed at changing day-to-day responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, life context, and how they prefer to work. She checks in regularly to adjust tactics based on what is helping and what feels realistic to use outside sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. Many people find they can practice real-time skills between sessions and report back the next time they meet, which keeps therapy practical and focused on changes that matter day to day.
