About Anthony

Anthony Garza greets people with a calm, straightforward style. He focuses on helping individuals notice what’s getting in the way of feeling better. He aims to help clients identify the issues to address so they can choose practical steps forward.

He centers sessions on awareness and listening. Anthony offers a different perspective when decisions feel confusing, and he can be an objective voice to help sort things out. He also provides space to be heard and affirmed when that is what someone needs most.

Anthony uses a tailored approach rather than a single method for everyone. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and on cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships, plus existential and Jungian perspectives when questions about meaning and identity come up.

Anthony holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and brings 13 years of experience to sessions. He practices in Texas and works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, anger, parenting questions, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect clear feedback, options you can try between meetings, and help deciding what to focus on next. To begin, follow the service's Start Therapy process and schedule a time that matches your needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Anthony often combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral methods in online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities, which helps people feel understood and choose what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and adds practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress or new issues appear.

Confirm the therapist's session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better when bandwidth is limited or when a brief coaching-style visit is useful between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt activities and homework for remote work so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
