About Luis
Luis grew up in a loud Puerto Rican household and turned that experience into a professional focus on communication. He emphasizes psychoeducation to help people understand diagnoses and reduce stigma. His work often brings together attention to mental health and substance use when those issues overlap.
He has six years of clinical experience across program types. That includes psychosocial rehabilitation programs (PROS), residential care, and outpatient clinics. He uses that background to tailor plans around each person’s goals, including employment and daily routines.
In sessions, Luis draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. He aims for clear, teachable steps rather than only talking about problems. Sessions typically center on building communication habits, coping skills, and realistic plans for change.
People who choose Luis usually want concrete tools for anxiety, mood shifts, relationship friction, or substance concerns. He practices in the Bronx area of New York and holds an LMHC credential. For international clients, he does not currently provide services.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on clear listening and responding so people feel heard and can choose their own next steps. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then teaches straightforward skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, reduce travel time, or choose a quieter setting that supports focused conversation. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through conversation, skill coaching, and short exercises adapted for remote meetings.
