About Kamia
Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works directly with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She prefers clear, collaborative conversations. Kamia tailors sessions to each person's needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She focuses on small, manageable steps that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Kamia draws on several methods to guide the work, including client-centered strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused ideas. She uses these approaches to help people solve problems, manage strong emotions, and build healthier patterns of relating.
Many people come to her for help with adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, blended family issues, or difficult life transitions like separation and divorce. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, body image, and eating-related concerns. Kamia describes her role as supportive and empowering.
She listens without judgment and helps people create practical, realistic plans. For someone juggling parenting demands or dealing with past trauma, she aims to make therapy feel useful and doable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and guides sessions by the client's priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for managing anxiety, improving communication, and tackling specific problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for people coping with strong reactions or conflict.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods until a good fit is found. Clients and the therapist set goals together and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection, while phone sessions require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
