More about Luis

- LCSW
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. I also enjoy working with men navigating identity, relationships, fatherhood, personal growth, and the pressure to manage everything on their own.
My style is warm, conversational, and practical. I use approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients better understand patterns, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes in everyday life.
I’m an active therapist rather than someone who simply sits back and listens. I’ll ask questions, offer feedback, help you identify patterns, and work alongside you to develop practical strategies that fit your goals and circumstances.
My background also includes community mental health, medical social work, chronic illness, and working with clients from diverse cultural and LGBTQIA+ communities. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported while also moving toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
