About Anthony

Anthony Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. He focuses on building awareness so clients can see what to work on next. Sessions are meant to be plainspoken and practical, with time to listen and reflect.

He guides people to peel back layers of routine and habit to better understand their patterns. That clarity often makes decisions feel more manageable.

Background and approach

Anthony offers an outside perspective when situations feel confusing, and he will also sit quietly and listen when the main need is affirmation. Anthony blends structured techniques with a person-centered stance. He uses approaches that include cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and emotionally focused work to deepen understanding of feelings in relationships.

He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning and personal identity. Over 13 years of practice in Texas, Anthony has worked with a wide range of concerns listed in his specialties. He holds LPC as his credential, and he conducts sessions in English.

He does not take international clients. People can expect a tailored process rather than a fixed formula. Sessions commonly include straightforward conversation, brainstorming practical steps, and checking how those steps feel in real life.

Anthony emphasizes ongoing awareness as the pathway to change.

Approach and access: therapy methods and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it suits those who need steady support and space to reflect on personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, works with how emotions show up in relationships and helps people connect feelings to behavior so they can improve closeness and communication.

Choosing a method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor an approach based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions remove travel time. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible, shorter check-ins when steady contact is helpful. These formats make scheduling easier and allow care to continue through life changes while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
