Oscar Chavira Jr., LPC

Oscar Chavira Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear, practical steps to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, mood shifts, and grief. He approaches each person with respect and compassion. Oscar adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause distress and then test small, workable changes. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping skills and manage strong emotions. People come for help with depression, panic, bipolar mood symptoms, and self-esteem concerns. He also provides support around career transitions, life changes, and complex issues such as trauma, addiction, or immigration-related stress. Additional focus areas include autism and intellectual disability concerns when they affect daily functioning. In a typical meeting he listens first, then helps set short-term goals you can try between sessions. He checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working. The style is straightforward and collaborative rather than lecture-based. Taking the first step can feel hard. Oscar offers steady, practical support as people work toward clearer thinking and more effective habits. He encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time.

Combining CBT and DBT with online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage strong feelings and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Oscar will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use and will adjust the plan over time based on needs, goals, and how well strategies are working. That way treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy gives flexible options for how to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick skill practice, brief progress updates, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try tools in real time.
