About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with eight years of practice. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.
He uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. Francisco listens for unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then works with people to try different responses. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking habits and skills that can reduce distress.
Francisco also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with moment-to-moment awareness and emotion regulation. He may use motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change and narrative techniques to reframe difficult personal stories.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect clear steps and homework when it makes sense, such as small experiments or simple thought records. The pace is adjusted to each person’s comfort while aiming for practical progress.
Francisco speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. He notes experience working with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, communication and commitment concerns, divorce and separation, loneliness, men’s issues, mood and panic disorders, and related topics.
Outside of work he spends time with his partner, family, friends, and two labradoodles. He offers part-time clinical hours and asks people to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How his approaches translate to online work
Francisco frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and homework aimed at specific daily situations. He also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals. That approach means sessions stay focused on what the client finds most important and are led by the client’s concerns. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach short attention and breathing practices for managing strong feelings and improving moment-to-moment awareness. These practices are brief and concrete, suitable for regular practice between sessions. Finding the best approach is collaborative. Francisco will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust techniques over time based on what helps most. Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen during evenings or weekends.
