About Anthony

Anthony Garza is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers awareness and self-discovery in his work. He helps clients identify what needs attention and guides them in uncovering patterns and beliefs that shape choices and reactions.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, he aims to support people as they peel back layers of habit and defense to access clearer, more effective ways of living. Anthony offers a calm, objective presence when decisions feel heavy or situations are confusing, and he balances attentive listening with practical direction.

His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, career and self-esteem challenges, and caregiving or compassion fatigue. He draws on several approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that values personal meaning and practical change. Anthony strives to provide an individualized therapeutic experience that combines insight, skills-building, and purposeful exploration so clients can move toward the version of themselves they want to be.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Anthony integrates Internal Family Systems, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on understanding inner parts and how they interact, which can help people untangle internal conflicts and heal from trauma or recurring patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they explore their values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony works with clients to determine which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge. He balances insight-oriented exploration with skills-based work so each person’s plan is tailored to their needs.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and consistency over time. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to access care from different locations while preserving the structure and therapeutic relationship that support lasting progress.
