About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addictions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Andres uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s perspective central. He encourages clients to lead conversations while he asks questions and reflects back what he hears. That way people can notice patterns, test new responses, and build on strengths they already have.
He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Andres uses mindfulness techniques to slow reactions and notice bodily and emotional cues. Motivational interviewing is part of his work when someone wants to change a habit or address addictions.
In session he takes a practical tone. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how reactions show up, and what small changes could make daily life easier. He pays attention to cultural background and immigration concerns when those shape the issues a person brings.
People often come for help with midlife questions, career stress, family problems, or impulsivity. Andres also supports those dealing with process addictions, forgiveness work, and rebuilding self-esteem. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How Andres applies approaches to online work
Andres commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in his work. Client-centered therapy means he listens closely and follows what the person brings to session, helping them discover their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve daily routines.He also incorporates mindfulness tools to help slow emotional reactions and notice physical cues before anger escalates. Mindfulness practices can be simple breathing and attention exercises that make it easier to pause and choose a different response in heated moments.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Andres works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as those goals change over time.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday problems.
