About David

David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked in counseling since 2014. He practices in Texas and has 15 years of experience helping adults sort through major life changes and everyday pressures. He emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach that centers each person's strengths and goals.

He sees challenges as connected to relationships, work, and the wider environment rather than only as individual problems. Sessions focus on understanding those influences and naming practical steps forward. He offers clear, goal-oriented guidance while keeping the conversation collaborative.

David's background includes roles in the public sector, nonprofit organizations, higher education, and corporate settings. That mix informs how he helps people with career transitions, academic challenges, and work-life adjustments. He also supports those coping with grief, chronic illness, and relationship difficulties.

In therapy he blends human-centered listening with methods that help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Clients can expect concrete tools they can use between sessions alongside open discussion about values and priorities. His style is calm, nonjudgmental, and focused on practical progress.

David also addresses concerns around stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, LGBT matters, and men's issues. He pays attention to multicultural factors, prejudice, and the ways life stage and caregiving roles affect wellbeing.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect his aim to help people clarify purpose, rebuild confidence, and move toward realistic next steps.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist stays present with each person's experience, helps them reflect on values, and supports decisions that feel authentic. This approach often helps people working through grief, identity questions, or periods of confusion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety or low mood and to improve coping during life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on goals and small changes that move a person forward. It is useful for people who want short-term, practical steps to address career shifts, stress, or immediate problems.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. If something isn't working, he will adjust the plan together with the client.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and clear next steps.
