About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with eight years of experience in mental health care. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, issues related to LGBT identity, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Francisco favors straightforward conversations that focus on what’s happening now. He uses client-centered methods to listen first and help people name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way. Mindfulness practices are added to help with staying present and reducing reactivity.
He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify goals and reframe difficult stories about themselves. That combination can help with relationship communication, commitment questions, caregiver stress, and struggles around life purpose. Francisco aims to help people develop practical steps they can try between sessions.
He understands the pressures of work, family, and finances and keeps sessions focused on concrete problems and options. The first meeting usually looks like a short check-in, a shared goal, and one or two doable actions. Outside of work he spends time with his partner, family, and their two labradoodles.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Francisco uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and helps people set their own priorities; it is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort thoughts and pick a direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.Mindfulness practice is often paired with these methods to help with stress and reactivity. Mindfulness exercises in a session may include short breathing practices or grounding prompts that help reduce panic or intense worry in the moment. These approaches are practical and skills-oriented, aimed at things a person can try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Francisco collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. He checks in and adjusts methods as needed rather than sticking to one set plan.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit check-ins into evenings or weekends and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter focused sessions when work or caregiving duties make a long appointment difficult.
