01About Dina
Dina Garza is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to offer steady support and practical steps forward. Dina speaks in plain terms and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about beginning therapy.
Dina believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that their strengths matter.
Background and approach
She works to build sessions around what each person already knows about themselves. Sessions focus on doable changes rather than long lists of abstract goals. Her approach mixes brief, skills-oriented techniques with attention to how past hurts affect present life.
That balance helps when someone needs relief from intense feelings and also wants tools to cope day to day. Dina listens for patterns in relationships and behavior and helps people try small experiments between sessions. People come to her with a range of concerns, including mood problems, grief, substance issues, eating and sleep difficulties, and struggles with intimacy or career choices.
She also supports people navigating major life changes, chronic health challenges, and questions about identity and attachment. In sessions Dina uses practical methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused work, along with trauma-informed interventions when needed. Her style is calm, direct, and encouraging.
She helps people set simple goals and tests ideas that can fit into everyday life.

04Online support
Approaches that fit online therapy
Dina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past abuse or traumatic events, helping people work through triggers and reduce distress in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dina treats the first few sessions as collaborative exploration to identify goals, test methods, and adapt strategies to each person's needs and preferences. She invites feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet visually for deeper conversation and skills coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins, brief coaching, and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
