About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, parenting, and anger among his areas of focus.
He draws on a long history in higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That variety means he has sat with many kinds of problems and learned practical ways to help people move forward. He works with adults across different backgrounds and ages.
Pedro emphasizes working with clients to set reasonable, attainable goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on small, concrete steps rather than vague promises. He uses a mix of approaches and picks tools that match what a person needs here and now.
His toolbox includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR for trauma processing, mindfulness practices, and narrative methods to reframe personal stories. Those methods are used to address symptoms like anger, anxiety, grief, or trouble in relationships by teaching skills and changing patterns.
He describes his practice as practical and direct. People who want clear goals, straightforward strategies, and a bilingual counselor who understands a range of life circumstances may find his style useful. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship, helping people clarify goals and priorities in a straightforward way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches skills to reduce anger, anxiety, or depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss what matters most to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to use and how to apply them to everyday problems like snapping at loved ones or workplace frustration.
The original biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding travel time to an office. It can also allow flexible scheduling across time zones for international clients. He uses his clinical approaches to bring practical tools into sessions that clients can use between meetings.
