Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 22 years of experience. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people find practical ways forward. He partners with clients to set clear, reachable goals that fit their lives.

His background includes clinical work, youth advocacy, and time in higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice.

Sessions often focus on practical skills, problem solving, and steady emotional processing. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals lead the work.

Common topics he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, intimacy questions, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career challenges, and coping with life changes. He also offers support around ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of family and relationship issues. Pedro aims to tailor the work to each person’s situation.

Online approaches that match trauma and everyday struggles

Pedro uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process traumatic events and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach focuses on addressing traumatic memories and the feelings they cause so daily functioning becomes easier over time.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and priorities. That method emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as clients learn what helps and what does not.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm which formats are offered before scheduling. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing quicker check-ins when schedules are tight, or enabling Spanish-language sessions without travel. Licensed professionals can provide the same therapeutic techniques online, and the focus remains on practical tools, emotional processing, and meeting goals.
