About Pedro
Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and men's wellbeing concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing major life changes, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. Pedro aims to make therapy practical and approachable for those feeling overwhelmed.
He draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health. Pedro uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and then builds small, doable steps to move forward. Sessions often focus on coping skills, motivation to change, and addressing past events that still cause pain.
Pedro combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means he listens closely, helps people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, and guides them toward behavior changes that fit their life. He also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused work when those approaches match a person's needs.
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has spent many years supporting people with issues such as immigration stress, living with HIV, substance use, and parenting challenges.
Pedro tends to work with young adults navigating big transitions, though he sees people with a wide range of concerns. He emphasizes practical tools, steady support, and clear goals so clients can make progress even when life feels chaotic.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Pedro often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and understanding a person's goals so the therapist can reflect and support what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Pedro will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. He adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most and what feels workable in daily life.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific formats, so checking available formats is recommended. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't practical. Different approaches translate well to remote work: cognitive tools can be practiced between meetings, and client-centered conversations can guide decisions and next steps.
