About Kamia

Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Kamia approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as she listens to what matters most in their life.

She builds short-term and longer-term plans that fit the individual. Kamia adapts conversations and interventions to a person's needs instead of using one fixed method. Her work often centers on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and practical skills for day-to-day challenges.

Her background includes helping people with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people coping with codependency, commitment and control issues, body image and eating-related problems, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.

Kamia draws from several therapy approaches to match what the person needs. That includes client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills-based methods that teach coping tools.

She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support during the process. If someone is ready to begin, Kamia works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals and track progress over time.

How Kamia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy places the person’s perspective at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual, which helps shape goals and the pace of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through practical exercises and behavior experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for intense relationship and family-related challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Kamia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean combining client-centered listening with skill practice from CBT or DBT, and adjusting as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and bring real situations into conversation for problem solving.
