Kathy Boaz-Chavez

Kathy Boaz-Chavez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on creating a space where clients can talk without judgment. Seeking help can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step easier and more supported.

She uses a client-centered style that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s experience and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Kathy blends mindfulness and existential ideas into her work to help people connect with meaning and stay present during difficult moments. Sessions emphasize practical tools you can use between visits. The approach is collaborative - progress is shaped by what the client needs and wants.

With six years of experience in clinical settings, she has worked with concerns ranging from trauma and abuse to mood disorders and postpartum depression. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, isolation, and midlife questions. Her experience includes supporting people dealing with domestic violence and co-morbid diagnoses.

Approaches and using online therapy together

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities at the center of sessions and aims to create an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the client guides the focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood or anxiety and then practices small, concrete changes to feel better. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing relationships more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That process can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and provide flexibility for brief check-ins or regular weekly work. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice and worksheets that translate well to a remote setting, and the therapist will help tailor sessions so therapeutic tools fit into everyday routines.
