About Dina
Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to build on strengths people already have. Dina writes that starting therapy takes courage, and she acknowledges that first step.
In sessions she listens first and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Dina uses practical tools to address worry, low mood, and relationship friction. She helps people break problems into smaller steps so progress feels achievable instead of overwhelming.
Dina blends evidence-based approaches with straightforward conversation. That includes techniques to notice unhelpful thinking, build stronger communication habits, and cope after painful experiences. She encourages skill practice between sessions so change carries into daily life.
Her work also covers concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, career pressures, and coping with life changes. Dina pays attention to patterns like attachment issues, codependency, and abandonment that can underlie many problems.
With eight years of practice in Texas, she draws on lived experience and clinical work to support people through hard transitions and persistent worries. Dina aims to make therapy a practical part of life rather than a vague, distant idea.
Approaches for online support and practical change
Many of Dina's methods translate well to talk-based sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and problem-solving skills for people facing relationship conflict.Dina also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and improve emotional regulation. She describes her work as collaborative - she will help clients figure out which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing one method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Ask about which formats she offers and how they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and communication skills practice to fit everyday life so therapeutic work continues between meetings.
