About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ concerns, self-esteem issues, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Sessions can be scheduled in English or Spanish.
Francisco uses straightforward conversation to help people notice how early family patterns shape current choices. He listens for recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits that come from the family of origin. Then he helps clients test small changes and try new ways of responding in daily life.
His work often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means clients set goals, describe real situations, and together they try practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are added when helpful to manage overwhelming feelings and build moment-to-moment awareness.
Francisco also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories. He uses Motivational Interviewing to support commitment when making life changes feels difficult. Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection.
He mentions that part-time scheduling can include evenings or weekends for people with busy weeks. Outside of work he spends time with his partner, family and two labradoodles.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. In practice this means sessions are driven by the client’s concerns and goals, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to clarify what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions often involve reviewing real situations, testing small behavioral changes, and assigning short exercises to try between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and notice emotions as they arise. In online work this can include short guided exercises to practice during the week and then review together.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
