How Pedro works
When trauma, grief, or substance concerns are present, he pairs practical strategies with attention to emotional safety. He blends client-centered listening with structured methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That mix lets him tailor sessions to what the person needs that week - whether it is skill-building, problem-solving, or making a plan for change.
He also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when those fit the situation. Pedro earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
He holds a Texas LPC and has worked in mental health settings for many years, supporting people with issues like addiction, immigration stress, HIV-related concerns, and career strain.

Online support options
How Pedro’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy begins with open listening and support. It focuses on the person’s goals and perspective, and helps people feel heard while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing uses focused conversation to help a person clarify their reasons for change and build their own motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose the methods that suit the client’s needs that week, adjusting tools and pacing as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone work can fit into a commute or a tight schedule and uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing homework, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
