About Pedro
Pedro Ricardo Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado and Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and lists concerns he commonly addresses, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, and family of origin issues.
He collaborates with clients to set clear, attainable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. He encourages clients to use skills between sessions to test what works in daily life.
Pedro's background includes work in higher education, non-profit community programs, inpatient residential care, and private practice. That range of settings contributed to experience with many ages and life situations. He has worked with people from varied cultural and religious backgrounds.
Clinically he draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and EMDR. Those methods are used to address symptoms as well as how early family roles and expectations continue to shape current relationships and choices.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Pedro emphasizes straightforward strategies, skill practice, and reviewing what changed between meetings. That approach is meant to help people gain clearer options when old family patterns feel stuck.
He accepts international clients and offers work in both English and Spanish. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Pedro commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can identify their priorities and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with clients who are processing distressing memories or strong emotional reactions. EMDR involves guided processing aimed at reducing the intensity of distress tied to past events and current triggers.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, and then recommend methods to try. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that better suits a given day. Ask about formats and session length when you schedule to match practical needs and daily routines.
