Hello, my name is Luis Lomeli and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of Los Angeles, California servicing clients statewide via telehealth. Over the years I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults to assist with managing issues of anxiety, stress, depression, acculturation, and trauma using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and other modalities. My focus is to assist my clients in discovering their strengths and building upon them in order to reach their goals.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. Most frequently used has been Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, as these modalities help the client and I to develop a strong and professional relationship that allows us to work together towards the goals at hand.
My focus
I have a flexible style and approach that has proven to be a good fit for clients of all ages. A few clients that I have been able to assist have come to me due to issues with anxiety, depression, stress, acculturation, and trauma. I work to help my clients identify frequent triggers, thought patterns, and emotional reactivity, and assist in developing skills to allow them to decrease symptoms and gain a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable to create a safe place for my clients. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything without judgment. I invite my clients to speak in their own style during the sessions to allow us to connect on a more personal level.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy assisting individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves. I believe that everyone can use a helping hand from time to time and would be more than happy to provide you with the support you seek to reach your goals.
My goals for you
Goal setting is all about what you want to accomplish in our time together. Whether it is about decreasing symptoms, increasing self-esteem, changing a behavior, or anything else you may want to work on, we will collaborate together in defining the goals that you wish to work towards and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Over time, we will revisit your goals as needed and track your progress.
My first session with you
The first session is about getting to know each other and getting an understanding of the issues at hand. During our first session together we will discuss your reason for seeking therapy, and your desired outcome, and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Each individual is different and it is important to get to know you is a vital step in building that professional relationship.
