About Felipe

Felipe Sepulveda, LCSW, brings 12 years of social work experience to therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He emphasizes practical work that helps people feel steadier and more capable. Felipe often supports people dealing with work pressure, caretaking demands, and the emotional strain that comes with financial worry. He aims to help clients build coping skills and clearer steps forward.

Felipe commonly works with men who carry heavy responsibilities and feel pressure to hold everything together. He also sees women and adults from varied backgrounds who want a structured, supportive place to understand themselves better. Sessions focus on improving communication, reducing burnout, and developing tools for daily life.

He integrates his background in financial social work when money and career stress affect mood and decision-making. This means conversations may include how financial concerns interact with emotions, without offering financial advice. The goal is to reduce avoidance and increase practical control over stressful situations.

Felipe uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods. Therapy is collaborative and solution-oriented, with attention to skills that can be used between sessions. He encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

People who benefit most are those wanting concrete strategies, clearer priorities, and stronger emotional stamina. Felipe helps set realistic goals and track progress while adapting methods to each person’s needs.

How these approaches translate to online work

Felipe commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and helps you try small changes to shift mood and habits. ACT focuses on values and actions, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Felipe will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision making helps shape the session plan and what skills to practice between meetings.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports keeping momentum between sessions through focused skill practice and homework that connects to everyday routines.
