How his approaches shape online therapy
Dr. De La Loza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on clear goals and practical exercises that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or rebuild confidence.
He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, values, and purpose when life feels stalled. That approach is useful for people facing career crossroads, major life changes, or questions about what matters most.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds. Many people blend CBT’s concrete tasks with existential conversations about purpose so the work feels both useful and personally meaningful.
