About Paola

Paola Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Drawing on evidence-informed methods, Paola helps clients address issues such as self-esteem, motivation, grief, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue while also supporting recovery from trauma and abuse. Her style emphasizes a respectful, client-centered stance that honors each person’s story and pace of change.

Paola creates a collaborative atmosphere where strengths are identified and practical skills are learned, using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment approaches, and motivational interviewing. She also explores attachment patterns, communication difficulties, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or shame when these are relevant to a client’s goals.

Paola guides clients toward clearer values, improved coping, and more satisfying relationships through a supportive, nonjudgmental process. She encourages clients to set realistic steps toward change and offers adaptable session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to coexist with difficult thoughts and feelings; this work can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to reduce distress and improve functioning, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into sessions to strengthen present-moment awareness and emotion regulation, supporting clients who want to reduce reactivity and increase self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so work feels relevant and achievable. That partnership includes setting realistic steps and checking in on what is or isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations within Texas and support continuity of care when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
