About Pedro
Pedro Lora is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 19 years of experience. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, social anxiety and phobia, depression, trauma and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
He focuses on helping young adults navigate big life changes and the stress of transitions. He also supports people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and workplace pressure. Pedro aims to help clients notice patterns that get in the way and practice different ways of responding.
Pedro uses straightforward talk and active techniques. He draws on client-centered methods to hear what matters most, and on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. He also uses solution-focused work to set clear, short-term steps and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
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. Those degrees inform his clinical approach and his work with trauma, immigration-related stress, and living with chronic health concerns.
Sessions typically involve setting goals, checking progress, and practicing skills between meetings. People can expect direct feedback, guided practice, and options to shift focus as problems change. For language needs he offers work in both English and Spanish.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online sessions can use that same open listening to clarify concerns and set priorities, whether someone prefers English or Spanish.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting clear homework, practicing small experiments between meetings, and reviewing what changed during follow-up conversations.
Motivational interviewing supports readiness to change by exploring values and ambivalence. Online meetings can guide a person through those conversations and help build practical next steps when they feel ready.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust plans as progress is made.

Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to practice skills between appointments. Ask about language options and session length when scheduling.
