About Andres

Andres Hoyo is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, struggles with self esteem, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Andres works in English and Spanish and aims to make each session feel approachable and straightforward.

Andres follows a client-centered style. He invites clients to lead the conversation and treats therapy as a joint effort. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, naming what matters, and finding practical steps clients can try between meetings.

He uses a mix of approaches depending on the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques help people calm racing thoughts and reconnect with present-moment experience. Narrative ideas are brought in to reframe life stories that feel stuck or limiting.

In meeting parenting or family stresses, Andres helps individuals sort through roles, communication patterns, and expectations. He also supports people dealing with immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, and money or career-related strain. His work includes addressing process addictions such as gambling or exercise when those patterns become harmful.

Andres emphasizes collaboration and small, achievable changes. He encourages clients to experiment with new behaviors and reflect on what works. Those who are considering therapy are invited to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Andres' approaches translate to online work

Andres commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead, listening closely, and building on the client’s own insights to find solutions. It helps with emotional processing, self esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions and habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andres works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and current situation. He adjusts techniques as progress is made and invites client feedback about what feels helpful.
