About Hector
Hector Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and problems that come with big life changes including end-of-life concerns.
Lopez draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage intense feelings and painful memories. He focuses on clear, direct conversations and concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions include talking through what is happening now, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and building small skills to cope with daily strain.
He has experience supporting people dealing with addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. He also works on relationship and intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Hector offers services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He moved back to San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2024 to spend time with family while continuing his Florida LCSW practice remotely. He accepts international clients and works with people across different life stages and backgrounds.
In sessions he emphasizes straightforward planning and steady follow-through. Clients can expect a practical focus: clear goals, direct feedback, and strategies they can use between meetings. He asks about daily routines, supports, and pressures to make recommendations that fit real life.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Hector uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and processing difficult experiences. One common approach is brief skill-based work that teaches specific coping tools for anxiety and stress, such as grounding, breathing strategies, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm.Another approach involves trauma-focused processing to help people make sense of painful events and reduce their ongoing impact. This typically includes carefully paced conversations about memories and reactions, alongside strategies to manage strong emotions in daily life.
Choosing the right method is collaborative. Hector will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss timing, language, and any practical needs during the intake so sessions match day-to-day life.
