About Pedro

Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Pedro focuses on practical steps people can use when life feels overwhelming. He often helps those juggling work, relationships, parenting, and immigration challenges. He also supports people managing trauma, grief, and issues related to HIV and substance use.

In sessions he uses clear, goal-oriented methods. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and prioritize what matters to the client. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems stuck. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goals and changes that feel doable.

Pedro has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has worked across many clinical settings over nearly two decades, assisting people with panic, PTSD, workplace stress, and family-related concerns.

People who contact him can expect straightforward conversations about what’s not working and specific strategies to try between sessions. He also addresses parenting stress, fatherhood issues, and commitment or relationship concerns when they come up. If Spanish is preferred, sessions can be held in Spanish.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and letting the client set the pace. In online conversations this means the therapist follows what the client brings up and helps prioritize the issues that feel most urgent, such as anger at home or stress at work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes practical homework between sessions, such as tracking triggers for anger and testing new responses in everyday situations. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person’s reasons for change and increase motivation. In remote sessions this can be useful for addressing substance use, commitment issues, or making steady progress on goals without overwhelming steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past attempts, and together they will pick methods that feel realistic. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and next steps. The practical value of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, attend from different locations, or avoid travel time, which helps maintain consistency while working on anger, stress, or trauma-related concerns.
