About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He conducts therapy in English and Spanish and lists areas he works with such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting, career questions, and life transitions.
Pedro draws on long experience in higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. He has worked with people across the lifespan and with many cultural and religious backgrounds. He emphasizes setting reasonable, attainable goals together and focuses on practical steps toward change.
Sessions often center on clear problem solving and skills practice. He uses elements from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, narrative approaches, and EMDR when appropriate. That mix is used to help with emotional regulation, coping skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, and processing difficult memories.
People working with him can expect a straightforward conversation about current struggles and short-term goals. He also offers coaching-style conversations for career and purpose questions, and support for complex areas such as grief, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and issues around sexuality and kink.
Pedro accepts international clients and provides both English and Spanish sessions. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session, and his fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values, set goals, and decide what changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process painful memories and trauma symptoms through a structured series of steps.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Pedro collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He will discuss benefits and what to expect, and adjust methods as the work evolves.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with him about language preference, scheduling, and length of sessions to find arrangements that fit everyday life.
