Andres Hoyo, LMFT

Andres Hoyo is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. He also addresses concerns like addictions, trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career questions, including blended family issues and multicultural concerns.

His approach is client-centered. Sessions are collaborative and guided by what the client brings. Andres listens for strengths and practical steps rather than handing down answers. He uses straightforward conversation to help people name problems and try small changes.

Andres combines practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and recurring patterns. He draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe difficult stories and set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or facing impulses and addictions.

He offers therapy in English and Spanish and has worked for several years with people navigating immigration-related stress and multicultural challenges. He often helps parents and partners adjust to shifting roles and daily routines during life transitions.

Sessions tend to focus on real-world steps: improving communication, managing strong emotions, and creating routines that reduce conflict. Andres encourages small experiments between sessions to test new approaches and track progress.

People who contact him usually start by clarifying a few immediate goals. From there he and the client choose practical strategies to try, then review what works and what needs changing.
