About Dina
Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and concerns like low self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions look at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior, and build skills to respond differently to recurring problems.
In therapy she uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to reduce distress and increase emotional awareness. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, achievable goals. Elements of the Gottman Method may be used around communication and relationship patterns when those topics come up.
Dina pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships. She also addresses issues like codependency, body image, grief, chronic illness, and addiction-related stress. The work can include practical exercises, reflection, and short skill-building practices between sessions.
People meet to talk through what they want to change and to practice small, concrete shifts. She aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on next steps. To begin, clients follow the site's sign-up flow and schedule a first session after a short matching questionnaire.

How Dina Uses Therapy Methods Online
Dina works with methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and develop new responses. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that help calm reactivity and increase awareness of bodily and emotional signals.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to create clear, short-term goals and small steps that can be tried between sessions. Together the client and therapist review what works and adjust the plan. Deciding which combination of methods to use is a collaborative process guided by the client’s needs and goals.
