Pedro Lora

Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and works with adults navigating changes like career moves, relationship shifts, and parenting challenges. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

Pedro focuses on practical, day-to-day skills that reduce overwhelm. He listens to what matters most, then helps people set small goals and try specific strategies. Sessions emphasize what can be changed now, not just talking about the past.

He brings 19 years of experience in mental health to his work. Over that time he has supported people with depression, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, living with HIV, and the stress that follows immigration and major life events. His background includes work with those facing grief, workplace strain, and parenting pressures.

Pedro trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health. He holds the LPC credential and applies a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method.

In sessions he commonly uses client-centered techniques to stay focused on each person’s priorities. He also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing to help people shift unhelpful patterns and build motivation for change. He encourages steady progress through achievable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Pedro often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and the therapist follows their lead to understand what matters most. This approach supports conversations about stress, relationships, and everyday choices.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try simple experiments to change behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, anger, panic, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, motivational conversation, or a trauma-focused method fits best. Goals, preferences, and progress guide adjustments over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also supports shorter focused sessions or regular weekly meetings to build momentum without rearranging a full day.
