About Hector
Hector Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional experience. He is licensed in Florida and works in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among his areas of focus.
Hector helps people talk through strong feelings and upsetting events. He focuses on practical ways to manage anger, reduce constant worry, and cope after loss. He also supports people dealing with major transitions and chronic health or caregiving strain. Sessions aim to identify patterns that lead to tension or outbursts and test new responses in everyday life.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, impulsivity, and interpersonal problems. That work often includes learning concrete skills for emotional regulation, practicing different ways of responding to triggers, and looking at the thoughts that fuel anger or shame. He also helps with relapse prevention for addiction and fatigue-related stress.
Hector’s approach is collaborative and straightforward. He asks questions, offers exercises to try between sessions, and checks what actually helps. He moved back to San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2024 to support family while working remotely, and he continues to serve clients connected to Florida.
People who reach out should expect clear goals, short-term skill building when useful, and longer-term support for deeper issues. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the site.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Hector commonly uses evidence-based techniques that teach practical skills. One approach focuses on emotion regulation and grounding skills to reduce intense anger or anxiety. These techniques break down what happens in the moment and offer specific steps to calm the body and slow reactive responses. Another approach addresses trauma by helping people process distressing memories in manageable pieces while building safety and coping strategies for day-to-day life. That work can reduce the power of reminders and improve functioning.Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. Hector works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals and what to try first. He checks progress and adjusts methods based on what helps most, combining short-term skill work with longer-term exploration when needed.
Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can focus on practice between appointments. If you want therapy in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, note that he offers sessions in all three languages and accepts international clients.
