About Hector
Hector Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional experience. He offers therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and sees clients while living in Florida and working remotely from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hector focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes.
Hector helps people talk through painful experiences like abuse, loss, and end-of-life concerns. He also supports those facing addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges related to gender identity and sexual orientation.
How Hector works
Sessions can address career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues such as abandonment or attachment wounds. In sessions he works to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. He encourages small steps toward change and supports practical coping strategies.
Hector emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s pace and goals. His background includes nine years of direct practice in clinical settings, and he describes himself as someone who returned to San Juan in 2024 to spend time with family while keeping his practice going remotely. That experience informs his understanding of caregiving and transition-related stress.
People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation and focused work on real-life problems. He aims to empower clients to make choices that lead to greater well-being and more manageable day-to-day living.

Approaches that guide online work and healing
Hector uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide his work. One common approach focuses on talking through past hurts and current reactions to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and abuse; this helps people feel less overwhelmed by memories and triggers. Another approach centers on grief and loss work that helps people process bereavement and major life transitions through structured conversation and coping plans.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. He collaborates with each person to figure out what techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what is helping, and adjust the plan as they go.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care while relocating or spending time with family, and it gives flexibility to schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities.
