About Kathy
Kathy Boaz-Chavez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps clients can take each week to feel steadier and more in control. Kathy speaks plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person.
She aims to create an open space where clients can name painful thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - Kathy asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes small changes that add up over time. Kathy draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are.
She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions. Existential ideas also inform sessions by helping people consider values, purpose, and choices. With six years of professional work experience, Kathy brings practical experience from counseling settings in Texas.
Her style is straightforward and empathetic. She guides people through grief, isolation, shame, and life transitions while encouraging realistic steps forward. Clients often work on coping skills for panic and mood symptoms, rebuilding confidence after trauma, or clarifying next steps in midlife or parenting challenges.
Kathy supports each person’s goals and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Existential therapy in Kathy's practice helps people think about meaning, values, and the choices that shape their life; it can be useful for those facing midlife questions, grief, or a search for purpose. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience, creating room for people to speak openly and be heard without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kathy works with each client to match techniques to their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as people try things and give feedback. That means sessions can move from exploring values to practicing coping skills when that fits the person's needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose the format that best fits a person’s schedule and energy level.
