About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 22 years of clinical experience. He practices in Texas and is bilingual in English and Spanish. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and parenting issues, and anger.
Pedro draws on long experience in higher education, nonprofit programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. He helps people set clear, attainable goals and then works with them step by step to reach those goals. Sessions focus on practical tools people can use between meetings.
His approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness strategies. He also uses narrative methods and EMDR where they fit a person’s needs. That mix lets him adapt how he works based on what each person finds most useful.
He has spent decades supporting clients across ages and backgrounds, including people who speak Spanish. He notes experience with issues such as grief, caregiving stress, ADHD, intimacy and career concerns, and a range of family-of-origin and relationship problems.
In sessions Pedro focuses on practical steps, clear goals, and checking progress. He invites clients to collaborate on what will help most, and to try small changes that build over time. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering reflective feedback to help clarify choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and skill practice to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for working through distressing memories and reactions; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms and can be combined with other approaches.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Pedro will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, comfort level, and the issues they want to address. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for different ways of meeting that suit a person’s routine. Therapists can use focused CBT skill sessions, narrative exercises, or EMDR-style trauma work in remote sessions when those approaches are agreed on. Licensed professionals will explain practical details when you schedule the first appointment.
