About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 22 years of experience. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people find practical steps toward change. He emphasizes collaboration and sets realistic, attainable goals with each person he meets.
His background spans higher education, nonprofit community programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That mix of settings informs how he approaches stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. He also helps people with parenting, career questions, grief, and coping with life changes, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Pedro uses several approaches in sessions and adapts methods to what a person needs. He draws on client-centered work to listen and follow each person's priorities. He may use cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also integrates mindfulness, narrative methods, and EMDR when appropriate.
He reports experience across age groups, from young children through older adults, and with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. The LPC credential reflects his professional license; his bilingual skills allow sessions in Spanish when preferred. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are handled through the scheduling process.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with cost that varies by location and therapist availability.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to a person. Online sessions let the therapist and client set goals together and check progress in regular meetings. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and clear next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online meetings CBT can include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address distressing memories and trauma. When EMDR is used in remote sessions, the therapist guides paced processing and uses techniques compatible with video work to support trauma-focused goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can be revisited as progress is made and priorities change.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are arranged through scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to make remote work practical and focused on everyday improvements.
