About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Colorado with 22 years of experience. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family problems, and blended family issues. Pedro describes working collaboratively with people to set reasonable, attainable goals for change.
He brings more than two decades of clinical work and youth advocacy across higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That background means he has spent time supporting people in different settings and stages of life. He notes experience with clients from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds.
Pedro uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy among the clinical styles he draws on. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now and trying techniques to change unhelpful patterns.
In practice he helps people break problems into manageable goals and tracks progress over time. He also supports parenting concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and adjustment to life changes. He notes additional work with areas such as adoption and foster care, autism spectrum issues, BDSM and kink, and caregiver stress.
People who prefer English or Spanish can work with him. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals that feel achievable. It helps when someone needs a steady, collaborative space to sort priorities and make small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to address distress from traumatic memories by pairing targeted recall with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce intensity for some people.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest options to try. Plans can change as progress is tracked and different methods are introduced when they seem useful.
Confirm current session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a person prefers fewer visual demands they can request a format that does not require camera use, while other formats are better for exercises that need visual interaction. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and homework tasks to suit an online setup and daily routines.
