About Oscar

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 5 years of experience, Oscar Chavira Jr. focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and trauma. He works with people experiencing anger issues, bipolar disorder, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English. Oscar’s approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.

Oscar frames therapy as a practical, conversational process. He listens to the immediate problem and helps set clear goals. Sessions include talking through patterns that cause distress and trying small, concrete changes between meetings. He explains interventions in everyday language so people know what to expect.

When addiction or process behaviors are present, Oscar focuses on identifying triggers and building alternative coping skills. For mood disorders such as bipolar or depression he emphasizes routines, symptom monitoring, and skills to manage mood swings. For trauma and grief the work moves at the person’s pace and includes strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions.

He also supports people dealing with career stress, immigration-related concerns, autism spectrum traits, intellectual disability, gender dysphoria, and other focused areas listed in his profile. Treatment plans reflect the presenting issues rather than a fixed protocol.

Before a first session clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Using CBT and DBT in online sessions

Oscar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often includes homework such as tracking moods, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical exercises people can use when feeling overwhelmed or when emotions spike.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix fits best based on their goals and symptoms. Expectations and goals are clarified together in early sessions so the plan remains flexible.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow use of shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with him about scheduling and the session rhythm that fits into everyday life.
