    About Paola

    Paola Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, motivation, and major life changes. Paola aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin making changes at their own pace.

    Paola centers sessions on listening and gently guiding clients toward practical steps. She uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness exercises and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used when they fit a person's goals.

    People come to Paola for a range of concerns, including relationship strain, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, anger, and career stress. She also focuses on issues like attachment, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Her work includes support for postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and young adult concerns.

    Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps alongside slower-paced exploration when needed. Paola partners with each person to set achievable goals and to build skills for handling stress, improving relationships, and strengthening self-worth. Her style is warm and steady, aiming to help people feel more able to move forward.

    If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is to complete the platform's intake and schedule a first appointment to talk about immediate concerns and goals.

  2. How Paola’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Paola uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, encouraging small, manageable steps toward goals. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unwanted thoughts and make choices that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to shift behavior and mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paola talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they like to learn. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans based on what helps most, so therapy stays collaborative and focused on real progress.

    If you are considering online therapy, check the platform for current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness practices or behavioral experiments between sessions. Paola aims to help clients translate therapeutic tools into everyday routines so growth can continue outside session time.
