Arturo Oaxaca , LPA

Arturo Oaxaca is a bilingual therapist who provides counseling in both English and Spanish. He holds a Master's in Psychology from the University of Texas at El Paso and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. He also holds the LPA credential - Licensed Psychological Associate - reflecting his professional training and clinical role.

Arturo draws from a range of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, and schema-focused therapy. He applies these approaches to help clients work through anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, anger management concerns, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. His experience spans work with adolescents, young adults, and adult populations.

Clients can expect a practical, goal-oriented style that balances skill building with empathy and support. Arturo aims to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, combining structured techniques and collaborative exploration to address current challenges and support longer-term growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Arturo frequently uses cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

He also incorporates motivational interviewing, a collaborative method that supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring their values and building internal motivation. This approach is commonly used with substance use and behavior change goals.

Finally, Arturo employs schema-focused techniques to address long-standing patterns that influence relationships and self-image. Schema work can help when recurring emotional themes or relational difficulties interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Arturo works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and experiences, then adjusts methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to continue care during life transitions, while allowing therapists to tailor session style and frequency to individual needs.
