01About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings more than two decades of clinical work to his practice in Texas. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people set realistic goals and make steady changes. His approach centers on listening first and building practical steps that fit each person's life.
Before independent practice, he spent many years in higher education, nonprofit community programs, and inpatient residential care.
Background and approach
That background includes work with youth advocacy and direct clinical services across different settings. These roles shaped how he thinks about recovery, coping, and everyday functioning. Pedro emphasizes straightforward collaboration.
He helps people name what matters, break problems into manageable parts, and try concrete strategies between sessions. He combines talk-based work with tools that people can use when stress or strong emotions show up. He sees adults across a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and issues around identity and intimacy.
He also helps people facing career shifts, burnout, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. His practice includes work on attention differences and family of origin themes. Therapy with him often mixes compassionate listening with methods drawn from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and narrative approaches.
He adapts work to each person’s culture and background. If someone wants Spanish-language sessions, he can provide them.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a safe, nonjudgmental space. It helps people clarify goals and find their own solutions, which fits well into conversation-based video or phone work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress that clients can practice between sessions and review over video or text.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for processing traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. In an online setting it can be adapted into paced bilateral stimulation and guided processing while the therapist checks in by video or phone.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients shape the pace and focus of work throughout the process.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through material in depth. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or when writing helps someone reflect. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
