About Carlos
Carlos Rizo Lopez focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, and trouble in relationships. He speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. He encourages small steps and practical changes so clients can feel steadier day to day.
Carlos uses a tailored approach to match each person's needs. He listens for what matters most and then works with the person to set realistic goals.
How Carlos works
Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at improving communication, reducing panic symptoms, and rebuilding self-esteem. Clients can expect to talk through family conflicts, patterns of control, feelings of guilt or shame, and loneliness. He helps people sort out life purpose questions and practice self-love.
When panic attacks or intense worry arise, Carlos focuses on strategies that reduce immediate distress and build longer-term coping skills. He has 10 years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - in California. That background includes working with people facing depression and motivation struggles.
He adapts the pace and tools to each person’s comfort level and progress. Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and routines.
Carlos frames therapy as a partnership where practical steps lead to clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Carlos draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for panic attacks and intense worry, helping people interrupt distressing patterns and regain calm. Another approach emphasizes communication skills and emotion regulation to reduce conflict and improve connection in personal relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose and adjust techniques so the work fits the person's life and progresses at a comfortable pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and working directly on interaction patterns. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get ongoing support between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options help people keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and daily routines.
