About Heriberto
Heriberto Pena Jr is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and LGBTQ concerns. He writes simply and listens closely so clients can say what matters without feeling judged. Many people come to him when life feels stuck or when they need help adjusting to change.
In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical steps. He uses tools that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
He also explores past patterns to understand how earlier experiences affect current choices and relationships. Heriberto brings four years of professional experience in Texas to his practice. He works with adults who want to manage worry, reduce substance use, repair relationships, or build more self-compassion.
He explains options and helps people pick methods that fit their day-to-day life. The room is collaborative and direct. Conversations can include short skill practice, motivational questions about change, and time to look at deeper feelings or recurring patterns.
Progress is measured by what the client wants to improve and by small, achievable steps. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works with the therapist's calendar.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.
Online support
Approach-driven online therapy for real life
Heriberto uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and stress. This approach is practical and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions.He also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. That method uses gentle questions to uncover personal reasons for change and to build motivation without pressure. Psychodynamic ideas are used at times to look at repeating patterns and how past relationships shape current behavior, which can help with relationship problems and deep-seated feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. The plan grows out of collaboration rather than a fixed script.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
