About Luis
He focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, and burnout from compassion fatigue. Luis also offers support for grief, end-of-life concerns, and the challenges that come with aging and caregiving. He works with people facing discrimination, identity questions, and sexual trauma as well.
In sessions he uses clear, practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. He also incorporates mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and make sense of painful experiences. Trauma-focused methods are used when clients need targeted help with past harm.
Luis keeps language straightforward and actionable. He helps clients set small goals, try new coping skills, and track what works between sessions. Conversations are paced to match each person’s needs and comfort level.
People who reach out can expect a steady, experienced clinician who values honesty and respect during hard conversations. He invites those ready to begin to use the site’s Start Therapy process to make an initial connection.

How therapy approaches inform online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions are hard to control.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment to reduce reactivity and improve focus. This approach often complements CBT and DBT work and supports coping with stress and grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those needs. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during work breaks or scheduling sessions without travel. Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people appreciate the convenience of meeting remotely when it helps maintain continuity of care and a steady schedule.
