About Carlos
Carlos Rizo Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on clear, practical support to help people feel steadier and more confident. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people in California.
Carlos listens carefully to each person's story and adapts conversations to their needs. He addresses common concerns like relationships, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression in straightforward language.
Background and approach
He also helps with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. In sessions he aims to break problems into manageable steps. He will work with clients to identify patterns that keep anxiety or panic attacks active and then practice simpler ways to respond.
Carlos emphasizes small, achievable changes that build confidence over time. He approaches each person with respect and sensitivity, and he tailors a plan to fit what matters most to them. He encourages people to take things at a comfortable pace and to set goals that feel realistic.
Carlos often focuses on strengthening self-love, forgiveness, and purpose as part of lasting change. For Spanish speakers Carlos offers services in Spanish as well as English. He supports people through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques focus the work and make sessions practical. One common approach looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety active, then teaches skills to shift those patterns. This helps with panic attacks, persistent worry, and low mood by giving clear steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. Another common approach centers on improving communication and relationships through structured practice. This helps people express needs, set boundaries, and reduce conflict in family or close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between longer sessions and to share thoughts in the moment. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a daily routine.
