About Arturo

Arturo Oaxaca is a bilingual therapist who offers therapy in English and Spanish. He speaks plainly and aims to make conversations clear and direct for parents and individuals dealing with family and parenting concerns. Arturo brings a calm, steady presence and a practical focus to sessions so people can talk through immediate problems and day-to-day stressors.

He earned a Master in Psychology from the University of Texas at El Paso and a Master in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University.

Background and approach

Arturo holds an LPA - Licensed Psychological Associate - in Texas (TX LPA 15526). He has practiced for 11 years across settings that included work with anxiety, depression, substance use, anger, and trauma-related concerns. In sessions he uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build workable habits.

He also draws on client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story and on schema-focused ideas to address long-running patterns. Arturo works with adults, young adults, and adolescents and applies straightforward tools for parenting and family-related challenges. He explains steps clearly, offers simple exercises to try between sessions, and checks in about whether those steps are helpful.

People interested in working with him can expect a collaborative tone. Conversations focus on practical goals, clearer communication, and manageable strategies that can be used at home or during busy weeks.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Arturo uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and build practical routines. This approach focuses on small changes in thinking and behavior that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He also applies motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. That method helps people clarify goals, resolve mixed feelings, and find personal reasons to try new behaviors, which can be useful for substance use and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arturo collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He suggests options, checks in about progress, and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Video calls let participants see visual cues, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing school, work, and family life.
