Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez, LPC

Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and practices in Texas. He emphasizes practical steps and clear goals when people are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Pedro brings more than two decades of work across higher education, non-profit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That range means he has helped people at different life stages and with varied life challenges. He aims to meet people where they are and tailor the work to each persons situation.

In sessions he focuses on what matters day to day. He helps clients set realistic goals and then breaks those goals into manageable steps. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers ways to try something different.

Common concerns Pedro works with include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, parenting strain, ADHD, and the challenges of midlife change. He is comfortable with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.

Pedro uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and EMDR where appropriate. He explains options plainly and helps clients pick approaches that fit their life and goals. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, he asks people to identify a few achievable goals and then tracks small steps forward. That practical pace is aimed at building confidence and clearer direction over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports self-directed change; this approach is helpful for building trust and clearer next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed together.

The original profile does not list specific online session types, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. They can also let people choose shorter or longer meetings to match work breaks or caregiving demands. In discussion, the therapist will help pick a session pattern that fits scheduling needs and therapeutic goals.
