About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction concerns, and parenting or family challenges. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward. He follows a client-centered style that keeps the person’s perspective first.
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a collaborative pace.
Background and approach
Andres encourages people to notice strengths, try small changes, and build skills that fit their daily life. Andres uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to help regulate strong emotions. He also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to reframe troubling stories people tell about themselves.
His work often addresses family problems, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, grief, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. He also supports people dealing with process addictions, impulsivity, jealousy, and money or career worries. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused.
Andres helps clients set clear, manageable goals and tracks progress together. He works with people ready to try new habits, learn coping strategies, and repair strained relationships. To start, people choose a plan, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s goals and perspective first. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps people set their own priorities and steps forward. This approach works well for relationship stress, parenting concerns, and emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches clear techniques for reducing anxiety, managing anger, and changing patterns that keep problems going. Tasks between sessions are useful and easy to share during video or messaging formats.
Mindfulness therapy helps people notice strong emotions without immediately reacting. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can reduce reactivity and improve mood. These brief practices can be coached over a call or sent as short exercises through text messaging.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Clients try techniques and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted together.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skill practice and role play. Phone sessions are a good alternative when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try short coping strategies, and get ongoing support between sessions.
