About Pedro
Pedro Gomez Carranza is a California licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also pays attention to concerns like control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, men’s issues, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Pedro frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths they can use in hard moments. In sessions he listens first and asks questions that help people notice patterns and options. He encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier behavior rather than big leaps all at once.
His practical focus is on what will make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Conversations often include spotting unhelpful thought habits, testing different responses, and building skills for handling stressful or triggering situations. He talks through decisions and relationship choices without judgment.
Pedro supports people who carry guilt or shame from choices, relationships, or past events by helping them understand how those feelings affect actions now. He works with clients to separate painful feelings from who they are and to find more workable ways of moving forward.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical changes in thinking and behavior. For example, cognitive approaches spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and self-critical thinking. Exposure-based strategies help people face feared situations or social triggers in small, planned steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Session options are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or remove commuting time so more consistent work is possible. Telephone sessions may use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for quick symptom check-ins. Ask about the exact online formats offered when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
