About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her profile also lists work related to social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, mood concerns, and relationship-related attachment issues.
Patricia focuses on identifying thought patterns, emotional reactions, and behaviors that keep problems going. She helps people learn practical skills they can use day to day. Sessions are framed as a partnership where the client sets goals and Patricia offers guidance and tools.
In early sessions she helps people clarify what matters to them and which situations cause the most difficulty. She then practices techniques with clients so skills feel usable outside the session. The emphasis is on concrete steps rather than long explanations.
Patricia pays attention to how beliefs about oneself affect feelings and actions. She also works with issues like avoidant or dependent personality patterns and problems linked to attachment. Her approach aims to reduce the impact of panic attacks and social fears by changing responses over time.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work are likely to find this approach helpful. Patricia frames progress in practical terms - small changes build more confidence and steadier functioning. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. One common approach she uses helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, then practice alternative ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and depressive moods. This method is useful for social anxiety, panic symptoms, and recurring negative self-beliefs.Another approach centers on learning concrete coping skills. These sessions teach breathing and grounding strategies, behavioral experiments for feared social situations, and step-by-step plans to handle intense emotions. The goal is to build tools that clients can use between sessions when stress or panic arise.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Patricia treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help identify which techniques match a client's goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on how the client responds and what feels most practical for daily life.
