About Pedro
Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage intense stress and anxiety, including panic disorder and panic attacks. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn between meetings. Pedro speaks English and Spanish and brings nearly two decades of experience to the work.
Pedro focuses on everyday pressures that pile up - work demands, family responsibilities, and big life changes. He listens first, then helps people identify small, realistic steps to reduce overwhelm. Therapy often includes talking through patterns, trying new coping strategies, and checking progress together.
His training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Pedro describes his work as centered on the person in front of him, with practical tools adapted to each situation. He has supported people facing depression, trauma, substance issues, immigration-related stress, and relationship challenges.
In sessions he draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client’s goals and values. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want clear steps and momentum.
Pedro aims to help people build skills they can use every day. He works with individuals on parenting strain, grief, anger, workplace issues, and concerns such as commitment or separation. Prospective clients should follow the site’s Start Therapy process to begin the matching and scheduling steps.
How Pedro’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping shape goals that feel achievable and meaningful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and day-to-day stress by building small, practical skills to reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust tactics, and set realistic next steps so therapy feels useful between sessions.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or let someone join from a quieter space. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic approaches remotely, adapting exercises and homework to fit an online rhythm rather than an in-person visit.
