About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with addiction. She also supports people facing anger, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Her straightforward approach aims to make conversations feel doable even when worries feel big.
She uses a collaborative, strength-based style that centers on getting to know each person’s values and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills people can try between meetings. Lugannys blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques to match what each person needs. Clients can expect an interactive style where the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set small, realistic goals.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are woven in to help with readiness for change and quick problem-solving. The emphasis is on what works for the individual rather than on one fixed method. With six years of experience, Lugannys has worked in community settings with a wide range of concerns, including substance use and communication problems.
She tailors the plan to a person’s situation and life demands, recognizing that progress often looks different for everyone. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short questionnaire, then schedule sessions to fit their needs and the therapist’s schedule.
How Lugannys Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes to help people move toward what matters despite uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and some addiction-related behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lugannys will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. She uses collaborative conversations to decide whether ACT, CBT, or other tools best support progress on the concerns brought to sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for learning skills and practicing new behaviors. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, share quick updates, or get support when writing feels simpler than speaking. These options aim to add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
