About Pedro

Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than two decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He brings bilingual fluency in English and Spanish to his work and approaches counseling as a collaborative process that helps people uncover strengths and set realistic goals for lasting change. His background spans higher education, nonprofit community programs, inpatient residential care, and independent practice, which informs a flexible, person-focused style.

He draws on a mix of holistic and evidence-informed methods to tailor interventions to each client’s needs, aligning practical strategies with clients’ values and life circumstances. Topics Pedro addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, addiction, career and life transitions, ADHD, and related areas.

With an emphasis on self-discovery and growth, he works to create attainable plans that support coping, resilience, and improved daily functioning. Pedro accepts clients internationally and offers multiple session formats to increase access to care.

He emphasizes respect for cultural and individual differences and seeks to create a supportive environment where clients can explore change at their own pace.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where the person's perspectives and goals shape the work; it helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore choices and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, offering practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process distressing memories and trauma by combining focused attention with structured bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist helps clients weigh the options based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so sessions remain aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations and to choose interaction styles that suit day-to-day life, whether clients prefer face-to-face video conversations or brief message-based check-ins.
