Oscar Chavira Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on common and urgent concerns like stress and anxiety while also helping people manage issues such as anger, addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, and depression. He describes therapy as a practical process and aims to meet people where they are.

He approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s specific needs. Oscar emphasizes clear, straightforward talk so clients can try new coping skills between sessions.

In practice he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

These methods are used to address symptoms and to build everyday routines that feel more manageable.

He also supports people facing focus areas like autism, substance-related problems, gender dysphoria, immigration-related stress, intellectual disability, panic, and process addictions.

Sessions are shaped around practical goals and steady skill-building. He encourages small, achievable steps and partners with clients through setbacks. If you want straightforward support for stress, anxiety, or related concerns, Oscar aims to help you move toward a more stable routine and greater emotional balance.

How CBT and DBT Shape Online Work

Oscar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse, then practice different responses. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and day-to-day behavior changes that can reduce symptoms over time.

He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are practical tools for managing strong feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Oscar will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences. That might mean leaning more on CBT exercises at first or introducing DBT skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
