About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who focuses on men's wellbeing and related concerns. He supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, and LGBT experiences. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to help clients feel heard and understood.
He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first, then helps set small, practical goals that match each person’s needs. He uses clear techniques that people can try between sessions to manage symptoms and build confidence.
Francisco draws on client-centered work to create an accepting space where people can speak openly. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox when clients want to increase awareness or strengthen motivation.
Across eight years as a mental health practitioner he has supported people facing relationship strain, family of origin concerns, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He also works with issues such as panic attacks, mood problems, and impulsivity.
Outside of work he spends time with his partner, family, and two labradoodles. That personal perspective informs a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to make progress feel doable. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire.
Approaches that guide online care
Francisco commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as part of his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts and actions, helping people test assumptions and try new behaviors when feeling stuck.He also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress reactions and calm the body and mind in the moment. These practices can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood challenges because they teach skills you can use quickly when feelings rise.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. If something isn’t working, the plan is adjusted together so therapy stays relevant and practical.
