About Oscar
Oscar Chavira Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, bipolar symptoms, depression, grief, self-esteem questions, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes. Oscar also lists additional focus areas that include autism and Asperger syndrome, drug and alcohol addiction, gender dysphoria, immigration issues, intellectual disability, and life purpose.
He structures sessions around clear conversation and practical steps. Oscar uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing new coping skills between meetings.
Clients can expect direct, goal-focused work that looks at what feels most urgent. Oscar pays attention to how emotions, behaviors, and relationships affect everyday functioning. He helps people break large problems into smaller, manageable tasks and tracks progress over time.
When concerns include addictive behaviors or intense mood swings, sessions may emphasize skills for regulation and relapse prevention. For life purpose and career questions, he helps clarify values and next steps rather than promising a single outcome. Communication is offered in English.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so work can begin with a focused plan. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Oscar draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his practice. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thinking patterns that lead to distress, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors by teaching concrete techniques. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with intense emotions, self-harm urges, and addiction-related impulses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and use that discussion to decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is reviewed over time.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or phone for different situations - for example, phone calls may be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, while video supports visual cues during skills practice.
