Luis Lozoya, LCSW

Luis Lozoya is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of psychotherapy experience and over a decade in behavioral health. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and challenges like trauma, addiction, and sleep problems. Luis approaches care without labeling people by a diagnosis and treats each person with respect and compassion.

He uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build values-based habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused and existential ideas when relationships or meaning are central concerns.

Luis adapts interventions to each person's goals. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, such as behavior experiments, skill practice, and values work. He aims to make conversations straightforward and useful rather than technical.

People who have faced abuse, attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, or family-of-origin difficulties can find focused support. He also addresses specific issues like infidelity, fatherhood challenges, first responder stress, and career transitions. Luis accepts international clients and works in English.

Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling. Luis emphasizes collaboration so the plan fits your life and priorities. He offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based options to make therapy work with busy schedules.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral tasks that you can try between meetings to see what changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that reflect those values. In virtual sessions this work can include values exercises, willingness practices, and planning concrete steps to move toward a meaningful life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work commonly teaches breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and communication skills that can be practiced during the week.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Luis will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match the problem, personal goals, and preferences. Sessions begin by identifying priorities and then testing short-term steps to see what helps most.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, text for brief updates, and video for deeper conversations. The variety helps people stay consistent and bring therapy into daily routines.
