About Luis
Luis Navarro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with six years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. He also focuses on men dealing with identity, fatherhood, and the pressure to manage everything alone.
Navarro favors a conversational, practical approach. Sessions are active and goal-oriented. He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people spot unhelpful patterns in daily life.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to translate insights into concrete steps. That typically means identifying small, manageable changes and testing what works between sessions.
His background includes community mental health and medical social work, with experience supporting people living with chronic illness. He has worked with clients from diverse cultural and LGBTQIA+ communities and brings that experience into clinical work.
In sessions he helps people build skills for coping, improve communication, and make decisions that align with their goals. The work tends to focus on practical strategies for everyday life rather than abstract theory.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
He commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then test small behavior changes that reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore what matters to the client and build motivation for change, especially around goals like improving routines or addressing substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and near-term goals, helping clients try specific strategies and evaluate what helps.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adapt strategies as progress is reviewed. That means sessions can blend techniques rather than sticking to a single method.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often adjust session length, focus, and homework to fit a person’s schedule and everyday demands.
