About David
David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He has worked in public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings since 2014. He focuses on practical steps that help people manage career shifts, grief, stress, and life transitions. David uses a straightforward, respectful approach to help people find what works for them.
He sees problems as shaped by relationships, life events, opportunities, and barriers. In sessions he helps people notice those influences, identify strengths, and pick concrete actions to try. He often supports adults facing career change, students in higher education, and those coping with chronic illness or major life events.
David describes his style as empathetic and collaborative. He aims to be nonjudgmental and unbiased while keeping work focused on goals. That means setting clear, manageable steps and checking in on progress together.
Over 15 years of practice, he has experience across sectors that affect work and wellbeing. That background informs his focus on career, workplace stress, and life purpose as part of overall mental health. He also addresses relationship strain, depression, anxiety, and identity concerns, including LGBT matters.
Sessions tend to emphasize practical problem solving alongside emotional understanding. David helps people sharpen coping skills, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build routines that support daily functioning. He encourages clients to use what fits their life and values.
How these approaches guide online work and wellbeing
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what is important to the client, which helps people clarify values and make decisions about work, relationships, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve work performance.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and immediate goals. It helps people identify what is already working and expand those wins to handle career moves, transitions, or stress more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
