Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, problem solving, and ways to manage strong emotions so daily life feels more manageable. Luz works with people facing relationship strain, grief, body image concerns, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports those coping with mood disorders, social anxiety, or the effects of sexual assault and domestic violence.
She addresses process addictions, eating and food-related issues, and self-harm concerns with careful attention to safety and stability. Therapy with Luz is collaborative. She helps clients identify what matters most and selects approaches that fit their needs.
Progress is paced to each person, with practical tools to practice between sessions. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and clients can use a subscription that is canceled at any time. Luz meets people where they are and focuses on small, useful changes that add up over time.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Luz uses a few core, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical-style strategies teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills, useful for strong emotions and urges related to self-harm or process addictions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luz treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on a person's needs, goals, and feedback. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and changes course when something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work well for brief check-ins or practicing techniques between sessions. These formats help people fit care into busy lives and keep momentum when in-person meetings aren’t possible.
