Arturo Oaxaca

Arturo Oaxaca speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward, practical help for people dealing with strong emotions. He focuses on concerns like anger, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship strain. Arturo keeps sessions focused on what matters now and helps clients learn skills they can use between meetings.

Arturo holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at El Paso and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. He has 11 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults, and draws on that experience to adapt his approach to each person's needs.

He uses cognitive behavior therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and schema-focused ideas to address long-running patterns. Sessions combine talking, skill practice, and real-life planning so progress continues between meetings.

People come to Arturo for help with anger, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, self-esteem, and major life changes. He aims to make the process clear and manageable, breaking issues into small steps and tracking what works. Arturo works from Texas and communicates in both English and Spanish.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Arturo uses several evidence-based techniques in his work and explains them plainly. Cognitive behavior therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes; it is often useful for anger, depression, and anxiety. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and builds momentum toward goals like reducing substance use or changing habits. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflection so clients feel heard while they figure out next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Arturo collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts pace and focus over time and checks in about what is helpful.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. It can also make it simpler to practice real-life skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can offer effective care remotely when the approach and logistics fit a person's needs.
