About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, family concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes.
He uses a client-centered approach that gives the person in the room control over pace and focus. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Andres leans on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
His style emphasizes practical steps and clear questions. He also brings narrative and motivational interviewing techniques when the situation calls for them. That means he helps people tell the story of their situation differently and find reasons to move toward change.
Andres pays attention to cultural and immigration-related issues and to challenges that come from blended family dynamics. He also works with process addictions such as problematic porn, gambling, or excessive exercise and with financial stress linked to mood and life-stage concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Because his work aims to connect daily life to useful strategies, conversations often include concrete coping skills, short experiments to try between sessions, and reflection on what actually changes at home.
How sessions work
How Andres uses clinical methods in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what he hears, and helps the client prioritize what to work on. It suits people who need a space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions this often leads to clear experiments or behavior changes to try between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for breaking unhelpful patterns at home.
The right approach is worked out together. Andres will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and brief behavioral experiments so they fit into daily life.
