Kathy Boaz-Chavez, LPC

Kathy Boaz-Chavez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and mood-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, panic, bipolar symptoms, and feelings of isolation. Kathy aims to make the first step toward change easier and less overwhelming by offering steady support and practical guidance.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps toward relief. Kathy uses common-sense tools to build coping skills and to increase emotional awareness.

Kathy draws from several approaches when planning work with a client. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and foster safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to stress.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based tools when emotion regulation and present-moment skills are needed. These methods support people who struggle with intense feelings or repeated worry. Kathy adapts techniques to each person's pace and priorities.

With six years of professional experience in Texas, she combines practical exercises with empathetic listening. People who want to explore meaning, manage mood, or regain confidence can expect a collaborative and respectful approach. Kathy encourages starting with a simple conversation to see if the fit feels right.

How Kathy Uses Talk, Skill Work, and Mindfulness Online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's concerns first. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to build trust and identify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and practical skills for handling intense feelings and crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathy will discuss options and try methods that match a client's needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan is collaborative so the client helps shape which tools get used and when to shift focus.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins on a tight day or scheduling around work and caregiving. It can also reduce travel time and let people continue steady support during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills to remote sessions while helping clients apply them in daily routines.
