About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, career questions, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not currently take international clients.
Lugannys uses a straightforward and interactive style. She focuses on building working rapport so people can speak openly about what’s causing tension or outbursts. Conversations aim to clarify what triggers strong feelings, and to map small, practical steps toward calmer responses.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques. That means she mixes learning new ways of thinking, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying brief experiments to see what helps in daily life. Sessions include problem-solving, mindful awareness, and goal-oriented work to reduce reactivity.
She has prior experience in community mental health settings working with at-risk youth and families, and with clients who struggled with substance use, anger management, communication, and parenting challenges. Lugannys aims to keep sessions practical and direct, focusing on what a person can try between meetings.
To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are billed through a cancelable subscription model. If someone wants help handling anger or related stressors, Lugannys offers a collaborative space to identify manageable steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from frustration, shame, or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different responses, which can reduce impulsive reactions and rumination. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection; it offers a steady place to talk through triggers and feel understood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then use a mix of methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps decide whether to lean more on ACT, CBT, or person-centered techniques for a given concern.
The original biography did not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow short check-ins when needed. Therapists can use practical exercises, breathing or grounding practices, and brief between-session experiments that fit everyday life.
