Pablo Castro, LPC

Pablo Castro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who brings a background shaped by military service and extensive work in community mental health. After serving in the Army, he earned a master's degree from Grand Canyon University and has provided therapy for about four years, contributing to roughly nine years of experience in the mental health field overall. His clinical work has included supporting people with serious mental illness and serving as a co-responder alongside law enforcement in Pima and Pinal counties, working with the Pinal County Sheriff and Tucson Police Department.

Pablo approaches therapy with an empathic, holistic perspective that considers mind, body, and spirit. He emphasizes experiential methods to make sessions interactive and meaningful, blending preparedness and patience with a willingness to gently challenge clients when blind spots or obstacles arise. He encourages clients to recognize themselves as the experts of their own experience while offering new perspectives to support growth.

Outside of his clinical role, Pablo enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking and weight lifting, trains in Jiu Jitsu, and nurtures his spirit through faith. He intentionally cultivates a small but close social circle and invests in meaningful relationships with family and loved ones. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained to assess and treat emotional and behavioral concerns - he draws on both personal and professional experience to support clients in navigating life challenges.

Experiential and Holistic Approaches Offered Online

Pablo integrates experiential therapy into his online practice, which uses interactive exercises and real-time activities to help clients process emotions and practice new skills in session. This approach can be helpful for people working through trauma, anxiety, or persistent patterns that benefit from hands-on learning rather than only talk-based insight.

He also brings a holistic, mind-body-spirit perspective to care, attending to emotional, physical, and values-based elements of wellbeing. This broader lens supports clients dealing with stress, depression, and the complex effects of past trauma by encouraging connections between thoughts, behaviors, and bodily experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Pablo works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in therapy, adjusting techniques over time so the treatment fits each person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and those living across Arizona. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different modalities, and access licensed professionals from home or on the go, while still allowing for meaningful, evidence-informed work between therapist and client.
