Cristela Escobedo, LPC

Cristela Escobedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the Permian Basin area of Texas who brings a warm, practical approach to supporting people through life transitions and emotional challenges. With three years of experience, she focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and also offers focused work around forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and cultivating self-love. Cristela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques combined with empathy to help clients build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and strengthen meaningful connections.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s unique history and goals. Sessions may include skill-building for managing symptoms, exploration of past hurts, and attention to communication patterns that affect relationships. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Cristela provides care in both languages to better meet the needs of Spanish- and English-speaking clients. As an LPC, she holds the professional credential that qualifies her to assess and treat mental health concerns in a clinical setting.

Outside of her professional role, Cristela values time with family and her fur babies, which she says helps keep her grounded. Prospective clients who are ready to begin a path of growth and self-discovery may find her approach approachable, practical, and attuned to both immediate concerns and longer-term healing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cristela uses evidence-based, skill-focused strategies to help people manage stress and anxiety, teaching practical tools for coping, breathing, and reframing unhelpful thought patterns that often fuel worry and overwhelm. She also employs trauma-informed techniques to support processing past hurts and grief, guiding clients through paced exploration of difficult memories while building safety and emotional regulation. In relationship-focused work she emphasizes communication skills and patterns that influence connection, helping partners or individuals improve understanding and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cristela collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Cristela can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make consistent access to a licensed professional easier for those balancing work, family, or transportation limits, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic progress from wherever a person is located in Texas.
