About Hector
Hector Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing with nine years of experience. He is licensed in Florida and works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues related to trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and identity-related matters including LGBT and gender dysphoria.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day. Hector aims to create an environment where clients feel able to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. He uses straightforward language and short-term goals when those fit the person’s needs.
Hector has supported people through loss, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress. He also helps clients facing anger, shame, low self-esteem, and difficulties with attachment or abandonment. His practice includes work on career stress, first responder issues, chronic illness and pain, and coping with isolation.
He offers therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He accepts international clients and works remotely while licensed in Florida. The intake process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online booking flow.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are available.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Hector uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed methods focus on stabilizing overwhelming reactions and building coping skills, which is useful for people processing abuse or traumatic loss.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hector will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and everyday routine, then suggest options and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from a convenient location. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional in English, Spanish, or Portuguese even when living outside Florida. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and the subscription billing model when you complete the intake questionnaire.
