About Dina

Dina Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and sleep concerns. She works with people facing trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and issues with motivation. Dina says first steps can feel hard, and she respects the courage it takes to reach out for help.

In session she treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. She uses clear, practical tools to tackle day-to-day problems and to reduce symptoms that get in the way of rest and routine. Conversations focus on what is useful now and on small changes that add up over time.

Dina integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and habits that affect their sleep and mood. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods when addressing specific patterns or past hurts. When relationship strain appears, she may incorporate Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and connection.

With eight years of professional experience and an LPC credential in Texas, Dina brings steady clinical experience without jargon. Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages questions and works together with clients to set realistic goals for rest, coping, and everyday functioning.

If scheduling feels confusing, the usual next step is to start a short matching questionnaire and then pick a time that fits the client’s calendar. Language of service is English and sessions follow the therapist’s stated scheduling process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for sleep and anxiety because it focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and how people feel. CBT offers concrete strategies such as changing unhelpful thinking and adjusting routines that interfere with rest.

Mindfulness Therapy centers on paying attention to the present moment and learning simple practices to calm the body and mind. It can be useful for reducing bedtime worry and for tolerating uncomfortable feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in on what helps and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow a slower check-in when energy is low. It also lets people try techniques in their regular routines and then discuss what did or didn’t work during the next session.
