Pedro Lora, LPC

Pedro Lora is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Pedro meets clients where they are and supports them in facing everyday pressures and major life shifts.

He draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health. Pedro uses clear, goal-oriented methods to address depression, trauma, substance use concerns, and relationship stress. He often supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, workplace tension, and identity-related worries.

Pedro combines client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building coping plans that fit daily life. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help when people need momentum and specific next steps.

He trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health. Pedro has 19 years of experience working with issues such as PTSD, immigration-related stress, living with HIV, and transitions like divorce or separation.

Pedro offers services in English and Spanish. He emphasizes simple, doable strategies for people facing panic, workplace pressure, or the drain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. To start, he asks about immediate priorities and works with clients to set short-term goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Pedro uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the person’s priorities lead the conversation; this approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and building trust so people can figure out what matters most to them.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors together. CBT helps break unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behavior changes, and reduce anxiety or panic symptoms through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Pedro will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use different tools from CBT and solution-focused work between sessions, such as short practice exercises and brief goal reviews to keep momentum going.
