About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. He practices in Texas and works in both English and Spanish. Pedro focuses on helping people take small steps toward real change and clearer day-to-day functioning.
He begins by listening and building goals together that feel realistic. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, with straightforward tools people can use between meetings. Pedro draws on common-sense strategies to manage stress, anxiety, attention challenges such as ADHD, mood shifts, and relationship strains.
Background and approach
His background includes work in higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and independent practice. That mix shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s history and current needs. He has spent many years working with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
Pedro blends client-centered conversation with methods that teach skills and change unhelpful patterns. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness, and using storytelling to reframe difficult experiences. He also offers approaches used for trauma processing when appropriate.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. Pedro often focuses on clear short-term steps that build toward longer term goals. He also offers coaching-style support for people coping with life changes, career decisions, parenting struggles, grief, or compassion fatigue.
People who prefer direct feedback, practical tools, and a calm, bilingual counselor may find his style a good match. He works with individuals across a wide age range and welcomes conversations in English or Spanish.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experience. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters to them. This approach helps with motivation, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. People often use CBT tools between sessions to track progress and practice new skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, is sometimes used for processing traumatic memories. It involves guided techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Pedro will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He treats the choice as collaborative and may combine approaches over time to better match what’s helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share between sessions or use brief, focused support. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
