About Ricardo
Ricardo Espinoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anxiety and related concerns. He offers therapy in both English and Spanish and draws on six years of clinical experience to guide conversations and practical steps forward. Ricardo keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the things that matter most to each person.
He listens for patterns that add to stress or block progress, and then suggests small, doable changes to daily routines and thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talk, reflection, and concrete practice to try between meetings. His approach blends methods from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotionally focused and attachment-informed listening. That lets him mix tools for changing unhelpful thinking with ways to build stronger emotional responses and safer relationships.
He adapts strategies to fit different needs, such as sleep troubles, parenting strain, or work-related stress. Ricardo has provided services in independent practice and within government settings, which has given him experience with a range of life situations. He also offers support for issues like addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and multicultural stressors.
If Spanish is preferred, sessions can be held in Spanish. To begin, he asks a few questions to understand current struggles and goals, then works together to set clear next steps. His style is practical and patient, aimed at helping people regain routine and confidence in everyday life.
How therapy approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and difficulties that come from avoiding uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Informed ideas look at how emotions and close relationships shape reactions, and they help people rebuild trust and more effective emotional responses.Choosing a therapeutic approach is something to figure out together. The therapist will talk about different methods, try options, and adjust plans based on what the person finds useful and achievable. That collaborative process guides which tools are emphasized in sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when speaking hands-free, live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins or brief coaching easier. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
