Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez, LPC

Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 22 years of clinical experience. He is based in Texas and speaks English and Spanish. Pedro focuses on helping people set reasonable, attainable goals and make steady progress toward life change.

He has worked across higher education, nonprofit community programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That background means he has experience with many ages and settings. He draws on years of youth advocacy and clinical work when supporting clients.

Pedro uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He often blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR, mindfulness, and narrative techniques. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, practical steps, and building skills that fit everyday life.

Pedro helps people manage stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports issues such as parenting, grief, career transitions, ADHD, and self-esteem. He notes experience with topics like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems.

He works collaboratively and aims to make therapy understandable and useful. People can expect direct conversation, goal-setting, and pacing that respects their needs. To begin, he asks clients to pick the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people name goals and take steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, mixes clear skill-building with homework tasks to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with processing upsetting memories through guided sessions and can be helpful for trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods over time. This is a collaborative process where goals, comfort, and progress guide decisions about techniques and pacing.

Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let them check in from a quieter location. Others appreciate shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is not convenient. Licensed professionals can tailor the session length and structure to match schedules and needs.
