About Paola
Paola Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem struggles, motivation, and life transitions. Paola’s practice also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and career challenges.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens to what is happening now and helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often focus on noticing patterns, clarifying values, and practicing new ways of responding to stressful situations.
Paola uses a mix of approaches to fit the problem at hand. She incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and narrative work are used to explore stubborn habits and personal stories that affect choices.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling lost after relationship changes may find her approach concrete and directed. She also works with concerns tied to attachment, codependency, communication breakdowns, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.
Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. Paola describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients help set goals and decide what to try. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Paola brings her approaches to online work
Paola commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable feelings. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new responses that reduce distress.She also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support decision making. That means she and the client figure out together which methods to try, adjusting the plan to fit the client’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises or homework between meetings to practice changes in everyday situations. Licensed professionals and therapists often find that collaborative planning and regular practice help translate talk into real behavioral shifts.
