About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a licensed clinical social worker who offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or low mood. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of experience helping people find clearer footing when life feels uncertain. He aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and approachable for someone juggling work, family, and day-to-day demands.
He creates a space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on what matters now and on skills that can be used between meetings. Francisco helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works for them.
His approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. That mix is useful for worries that come up suddenly, low mood, or for people managing trauma, identity questions, or relationship strain. He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to support clearer goals and a stronger sense of self.
People often come for help with stress, anxiety, panic, or lingering effects of abuse and trauma. He also works with concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems, and men’s issues. Francisco emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Outside work he spends time with his partner, family, and two labradoodles. He encourages clients to pick small, sustainable changes that fit their life and to use therapy as a place to test new ways of coping.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for thoughts and feelings to be heard and respected. It helps people clarify what matters and set goals that feel meaningful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood changes.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. These tools are often useful for stress, panic symptoms, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Francisco treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in regularly to adjust strategies based on what’s helpful.
