David Garcia, LPC

David Garcia is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of practice helping people make sense of hard life changes. He explains how relationships, work, and life events shape current struggles and helps clients find practical steps forward. His style is warm, direct, and collaborative.

He has worked across public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That range gives him experience with career transitions, education challenges, and the systems people often must navigate. He often supports adults facing career change, students in higher education, and those coping with grief or chronic illness.

David focuses on clear, usable strategies rather than only talk. Sessions identify strengths, set concrete goals, and try small changes that build momentum. He keeps things solution-oriented while staying open to each person’s unique story.

Many clients come with relationship strain, stress, anxiety, or a sense of emptiness. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, and life purpose. There is additional attention to aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress when those topics arise.

His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He aims to collaborate on what will work best and adjust methods to fit each person’s needs. To begin, he asks questions about current goals and practical barriers and then crafts a plan together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It centers the person’s experience and helps people feel heard while they decide what matters most and what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and next steps. Sessions often concentrate on concrete actions that move someone toward the life they want to lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and changing course when needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, especially during work breaks or when travel would be difficult. It also allows people to continue care while managing health or mobility limits.
