About Luis
Luis Navarro helps adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship strain, low motivation, or big life changes. He introduces straightforward tools and asks clear questions so people can start making small, useful changes right away. His approach is warm and conversational.
He keeps sessions practical and focuses on everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better. Luis will point out patterns, highlight strengths, and suggest steps clients can try between meetings.
How Luis works
Luis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide his work. These methods are used to break unhelpful thinking, build motivation for change, and set short-term goals that fit a person’s life. He leans toward active collaboration rather than passive listening.
His background includes community mental health and medical social work, with experience related to chronic illness and caregiving stress. He has worked with people from diverse cultural and LGBTQIA+ communities and brings that context into sessions. People who want direct feedback and practical strategies may find his style helpful.
Luis holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, in California and has six years of experience in clinical settings. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapy approaches shape online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing centers on drawing out a persons own reasons for change and building motivation one step at a time; it is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights small, practical goals and quick steps clients can try between sessions to move toward what they want.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and obstacles, then recommend approaches that fit the clients needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets clients try strategies in real life between sessions and then discuss what worked in the next meeting.
