About Edward
Dr. Edward De La Loza helps people find calmer ways to handle stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports work-related struggles, career questions, and coping with life changes.
He uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and build clearer daily routines. He brings 23 years of clinical experience and a Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health to his practice. That background informs a focus on small, steady changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a broader view of life meaning to address how thoughts, habits, and values interact. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on strategies. Clients can expect to work on unhelpful thinking patterns, behavior experiments, and simple plans to handle stressful situations.
He also offers coaching-style guidance for career and workplace issues when useful. Dr. De La Loza has written about caregiving and studied mental health professionals' work with youth at risk, and he draws on research as well as clinical practice.
He emphasizes practical steps rather than long theoretical discussions. He is based in California and communicates in English. International clients may connect as well.
The typical session path includes setting goals, trying focused exercises between visits, and checking progress week to week.
How CBT and Existential Work Translate Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online sessions can teach practical skills like thought records, exposure steps, and behavioral experiments that clients practice between meetings.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life purpose. It invites people to reflect on what matters to them and to make choices that align with those values. This approach can help when anxiety or a career crossroads raises questions about purpose and direction.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether CBT techniques, existential exploration, or a mix fits a person's goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility that supports consistent progress. Video calls let the therapist use worksheets and screen-sharing for skill practice. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, exercise prompts, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and apply small changes in daily life.
