David Garcia, LPC

David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience supporting people through major life shifts. He frames difficulties as shaped by relationships, life events, and social context. David aims to help people identify strengths and take clear steps toward change in a calm, respectful atmosphere.

He has worked in public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That range gives him practical insight into career transitions and education-related stress. He also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness, and relationship challenges.

David uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. Sessions tend to center on understanding current problems, naming useful resources, and trying small, doable strategies that build momentum. He keeps the work collaborative and adapts approaches to each person’s needs.

People often come to him for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. He also offers support around midlife crisis concerns and adjustment to aging or caregiver roles. He pays attention to how culture and discrimination shape experience.

In sessions he draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused tools. Conversations aim to be practical and respectful, with steps you can test between meetings. The focus is helping you move toward clearer goals and everyday changes that matter.

Approaches that guide online work and practical goals

David uses client-centered therapy to start. That means he listens closely to your experience and follows what matters most to you, helping you feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers tools to change patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and strengths you can build on right away.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will work with you to identify goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Conversations are meant to be flexible so the approach evolves as your situation changes.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between major appointments. It can also let you keep consistent momentum while managing work, caregiving, or other obligations.
