About Luis
Luis Navarro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control. Luis is direct but warm, and he aims to make sessions feel like a clear conversation rather than a lecture.
He often works with people dealing with relationship strain, low motivation, self-esteem issues, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and challenges linked to ADHD or trauma.
Background and approach
He also supports those exploring identity and fatherhood concerns. His approach centers on identifying patterns and small changes that add up over time. Luis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide work in sessions.
He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps clients develop concrete strategies tailored to day-to-day life. Sessions typically mix skills practice with problem-solving and short-term planning. His background includes community mental health, medical social work, and work with people managing chronic illness.
He has experience with clients from a range of cultural and LGBTQIA+ communities. That experience informs a practical, culturally aware approach. Clients can expect a collaborative, action-oriented relationship.
Luis aims to help people notice patterns, strengthen coping skills, and test new approaches between sessions. The focus is on clear steps that align with each person’s goals and circumstances.

How Luis Uses Practical Therapies Online
Luis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is used to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change, which helps with low motivation, substance issues, and lifestyle shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and short-term goals so clients can see progress quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. He then recommends methods and adjusts them as needed in collaboration with the client.
