About Kamia
Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and major life changes. Kamia aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where practical conversation can begin.
She focuses on clear, down-to-earth dialogue. Sessions are shaped to a person's specific situation rather than a one-size-fits-all script. Kamia listens first, then helps identify concrete steps that feel doable at home and in family life.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, and family of origin matters. She also addresses topics like codependency, communication and commitment problems, and recovery from domestic violence or divorce.
Kamia draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation, and client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's goals. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used when helpful to build skills and short-term momentum. Therapy with her centers on collaboration.
She helps parents and adults sort priorities, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of relating. The work is practical, steady, and aimed at gradual change that fits real family life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful when you need a therapist who responds to your priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings, like tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors, which can be done over chat or phone. CBT is commonly used for relationship stress, anxiety, and managing reactions to difficult events.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Techniques such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance can be taught in brief coaching-style check-ins, making them suitable for live chat or messaging support between video visits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with online tools. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules and to use short check-ins when problems arise. For many people, this accessibility helps keep momentum and practice going between meetings.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
