Heather Garza

When stress, difficult emotions, or recurring challenges begin affecting your daily life, you don’t have to navigate them alone. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, working through painful experiences, or wanting to change patterns that no longer serve you, we can start where you are.

I’m Heather Garza, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. I provide space to speak openly, explore what matters to you, and develop practical ways to move forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

I offer online counseling throughout Texas, with evening and weekend appointments available Monday and Friday, 6:30–10 p.m.; Tuesday–Thursday, 8–10 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m.–10 p.m. All times are Central Time.

I want counseling to be a place where you can speak openly, feel respected, and work toward meaningful change. We’ll explore what’s been difficult, recognize your strengths, and set goals together.

Depending on your needs, I use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. This may involve understanding how thoughts and emotions influence your choices, exploring mixed feelings about change, or practicing ways to manage stress, communicate, and respond to difficult situations.

I’ll offer support and honest feedback while helping you develop practical skills you can use between sessions. Your goals and feedback will help guide our work.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and talk about what you need from counseling. We’ll discuss what brought you here, what’s going on in your life, and what you would like to be different. I’ll also ask about your background, strengths, and any previous experiences with counseling.

You don’t have to tell your whole story at once. You’ll have room to ask questions, share concerns, and talk about what helps you feel comfortable. Together, we’ll identify initial goals and discuss next steps so you have a clearer sense of how we can work together.
