Pedro Lora, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Pedro

Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, practical guidance to help clients find clearer footing. He aims to make conversations feel focused and doable, so parents and caregivers can take small steps forward when life feels heavy.

Pedro draws on 19 years of experience in mental health work.

Background and approach

He commonly addresses issues such as substance use, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, anger, and workplace strain. He also offers support around parenting, fatherhood issues, immigration-related stress, living with HIV, and challenges tied to identity and sexuality. His approach blends client-centered listening with action-oriented techniques.

That means he hears what matters to the client first, then suggests practical tools to try between sessions. He uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from motivational interviewing to build motivation for change. Pedro earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

He holds TX LPC 61291 and has nearly two decades of clinical practice experience. His background includes work with people facing divorce and separation, addiction, domestic violence, and career stress. In sessions he emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step planning.

He works collaboratively to break goals into manageable tasks. The aim is steady progress rather than perfect outcomes, helping clients regain control and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist creates space for clients to talk about what matters most and then follows their lead. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches simple tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about techniques are made together so the plan feels practical and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay connected between sessions. For people managing work, family, or long commutes, remote formats can reduce barriers and keep focus on steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
