About Oscar
Oscar Chavira Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for honest conversation.
He uses clear, goal-oriented conversation to help people reduce symptoms and regain routine. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs, with direct talk about coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. He often addresses worries tied to panic, addictive behaviors, and anger so clients can feel steadier day to day.
Oscar brings experience working with grief, trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, and life changes. He also supports people facing immigration issues, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, and neurodiversity such as autism or Asperger syndrome. He helps clients consider life purpose, career strain, and self-esteem alongside mental health symptoms.
His methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for managing strong emotions. Sessions mix skill teaching with practical planning for real-life situations.
Oscar describes the first step toward change as an act of courage. He works collaboratively to shape the plan and offers steady support while clients try new ways of coping and living.
How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It often involves trying practical exercises between sessions, tracking reactions, and changing routines that contribute to anxiety or panic.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships with oneself and others. It includes breathing and grounding strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and step-by-step plans for crisis moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and adjust as progress is made.
Before booking, confirm the current session options since formats are not specified here.
