About Ricardo
Ricardo Espinoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors. He speaks English and Spanish and practices from Texas. Ricardo aims to make counseling direct and understandable for busy families and individuals.
Ricardo uses clear, practical conversations to identify what’s getting in the way of daily life. He helps clients set small, achievable goals and tries techniques that fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills for stress, sleep, eating, and managing strong emotions. His background includes work in independent practice and roles within government organizations. That mix gave him experience with trauma, grief, first responder concerns, immigration-related stresses, and military-connected issues.
He draws on this experience when people bring complex situations into the room. Ricardo combines several therapy approaches based on what a person needs. He may use tools from cognitive behavioral work, attachment ideas, or emotion-focused methods to address relationship pain and emotional patterns.
He also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients move toward meaningful values. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. He has worked in English and Spanish for a variety of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar conditions, parenting strain, and cultural or discrimination-related stresses.
Using proven approaches in online sessions
Ricardo often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult, which can help with stress, grief, and chronic worry.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ricardo will discuss goals and try techniques together to see what fits best. He adapts methods over time so sessions stay relevant to a person's changing needs and priorities.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and relationship-focused work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick coping strategies, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility while still allowing focused, technique-based care from a licensed professional.
