Andres Hoyo

Andres Hoyo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. He speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Andres aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected.

He works in a collaborative way, letting the client's perspective guide conversation while offering questions and reflections to prompt insight. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps and personal strengths. Andres encourages people to try small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Andres uses several evidence-informed approaches. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices help people handle strong feelings in the moment.

He also uses motivational interviewing when someone wants help building motivation for change, and narrative therapy to reframe difficult personal stories. These methods are mixed in a way that fits each person's goals and pace.

Andres often supports people dealing with family stress, blended family issues, grief, addiction concerns, immigration-related stress, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. He aims to help clients recognize strengths, clarify goals, and take concrete steps toward better daily functioning.

How Andres’ approaches translate to online therapy

Andres commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client, helping people find their own answers through careful listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete techniques to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, anger, and mood concerns when practiced between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy is another tool he uses to help clients notice and respond to strong emotions in the moment. These brief practices can reduce reactivity and support more thoughtful responses to stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Andres treats this as a collaborative process, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods as progress unfolds. He aims to match tools and exercises to each person’s needs rather than applying a single method to every case.

The practical benefit of online work is that therapy can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, try guided exercises between meetings, or continue work during life transitions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
