About Oscar
Oscar Chavira Jr. is an LPC licensed in Texas with five years of professional experience helping people manage anger and bipolar disorder. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and his practice is based in Texas.
He uses straightforward, skills-based methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also focuses on building practical coping skills for panic, self-harm urges, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography.
Oscar adapts conversations and plans to each person's goals. He speaks plainly about steps clients can take between meetings, such as tracking moods, practicing specific behaviors, and testing new ways of thinking. He includes work on self-esteem, career questions, and navigating immigration or gender-related concerns when they come up.
People who have intellectual disability or autism may find his focus areas helpful because he addresses concrete behaviors and routines. He also offers support around drug and alcohol addiction, sex addiction, and anger management with clear, structured techniques.
Sessions emphasize action and measurable progress. Oscar asks about what is most problematic now, sets small goals, and checks changes over time. To begin, people use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
Oscar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small experiments to see what changes behavior and mood. This approach suits worries, panic, low mood, and many addiction-related behaviors.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style work teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, handling urges, and improving moment-to-moment coping when feelings spike.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review current problems, goals, and preferences and decide which methods to emphasize. They adapt the plan as progress is tracked, adding or shifting skills based on what is working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Therapists aim to make sessions practical so skills can be practiced between meetings and measured over time.
