About Ricardo

Ricardo Espinoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addictions, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

He draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's goals, offering support for issues such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem. Ricardo works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

With six years of clinical experience across independent practice and government settings, he blends practical skills with compassionate listening to help clients regain stability and move toward meaningful change. His approach considers the person's values and life context, and he integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and acceptance-oriented strategies alongside attachment and emotion-focused work.

Sessions are designed to meet specific needs, whether addressing acute concerns or supporting longer-term personal growth. Ricardo frames therapy as a collaborative process, partnering with clients to identify priorities and practice real-world strategies.

He offers multiple remote session formats so individuals can choose the mode that fits their schedule and needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Ricardo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete techniques for managing symptoms like anxiety and mood difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements this by encouraging acceptance of difficult experiences while clarifying personal values and committed action to support meaningful change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and address long-standing interpersonal difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ricardo discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time so the work reflects the client’s needs and circumstances. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning and choosing interventions that fit their life.

Online therapy provides flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or differing time zones. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver the same therapeutic tools and exercises used in person, while giving clients choice in how they engage with counseling to support accessibility and ongoing progress.
