About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Andres also addresses addiction, grief, anger, and problems that come with life transitions.
He uses a client-centered approach that encourages clients to take the lead in sessions. Conversations aim to surface practical patterns in thoughts and behavior. Andres listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people try different ways of responding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his work when a person wants concrete skills to manage unhelpful thinking and habits. He also draws on mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. Narrative therapy and solution-focused ideas can be used to reframe problems and identify small next steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Andres helps people break problems into manageable parts and experiments with new responses between appointments. He highlights strengths people already have and helps them notice what works in real life.
His practice serves people in California and offers work in English and Spanish. Andres asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How Andres applies CBT and related approaches online
Andres commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT helps with anxiety, mood problems, and coping with stress by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and routine responses.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's perspective to find workable solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool he employs to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately reacting, which can reduce impulsivity and reactivity.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Andres will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and adapt methods as progress and needs become clearer. He works with clients to set measurable steps and to try practices between meetings.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer an option when attending in person is difficult.
