About Pedro
Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage overwhelming stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. He combines practical, down-to-earth conversation with clear steps people can try between sessions. Pedro offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with adults in Texas.
He focuses on helping individuals who feel stuck by past trauma, relationship strain, or major life changes. In the first meetings he listens to what matters most, then sets simple goals together.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, problem-solving, and ideas to test in day-to-day life. Pedro draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health. He has supported people facing depression, substance use, immigration-related stress, living with HIV, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence.
He also works with clients coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, and career or parenting pressures. His training includes a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Pedro uses that background to blend practical tools with a collaborative, respectful approach.
He encourages clients to move at their own pace. People who meet with Pedro can expect straightforward feedback and a focus on skills they can use right away. He helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, build better routines, and rebuild trust in themselves after difficult experiences.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Pedro often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. CBT is hands-on and works well for anxiety, anger, panic, and depression by teaching concrete skills to test in daily life.He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and understanding first. That approach helps people feel heard while they decide what changes matter to them. Motivational Interviewing appears in sessions when people want help finding motivation to change behaviors like substance use or lifestyle habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will collaborate with each person to choose or adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He typically reviews progress and shifts strategies if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for full conversations, phone can be a quick check-in, live chat offers shorter real-time exchanges, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
