About Ricardo
Ricardo Espinoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people in Texas facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward talk to help clients find practical ways forward. He keeps sessions focused on the problems that matter most to each person.
Ricardo draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationship pain or intimacy issues come up.
Background and approach
Sessions typically look like goal setting, skill practice, and checking what is working between meetings. He has six years of counseling experience across independent practice and government settings. That background means he is familiar with issues like trauma, grief, first responder stress, immigration concerns, and military-related challenges.
He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, eating or sleeping struggles, anger, or workplace stress. Ricardo aims to tailor sessions to each person’s goals. He helps clients develop practical strategies for day-to-day life while exploring beliefs and emotions that get in the way.
Progress is paced to what each person can manage. People may choose to work with him for short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns. He accepts international clients and offers several online session formats to fit different needs.
How Ricardo’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and still take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical skills for living despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and sleep or eating concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ricardo will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needed, keeping the process collaborative and focused on what helps day to day. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit during a break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, progress notes, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions.Questions people ask
