About Pedro

Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and life transitions. He brings a practical, client-focused stance to therapy and aims to help clients identify barriers, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Background and approach

Pedro combines direct strategies with empathic listening to support clients through grief, trauma, work-related stress, and issues related to identity and sexuality. With 19 years of experience in the mental health field, Pedro draws on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

He has worked with people facing PTSD, substance use, immigration stressors, living with HIV, parenting challenges, and mood disorders including bipolar disorder. Pedro is bilingual in English and Spanish and practices from a strengths-based perspective that emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Pedro integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online work to address patterns of thinking and to process difficult memories. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand and work through the impact of traumatic events, often using paced, supportive techniques to restore functioning and reduce trauma-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pedro collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines client-centered listening with structured tools so goals are set together and adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stressors, and access therapy from home or work without travel.
