Evidence-Informed Therapy Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Luz Lavado, LCSW, draws from approaches that help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, and move toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain by practicing new ways of responding to everyday challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps aligned with personal values. This approach can be a good fit when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or is working through grief and life transitions. Mindfulness-based strategies may also be used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting steadier coping in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Luz collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the plan over time to fit the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats can make it easier to stay consistent with support, even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
