About Edward

Dr. Edward De La Loza is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also supports career questions, workplace strain, communication problems, control issues, life purpose, and men’s issues.

He works with clients to set clear goals and take small, manageable steps toward change. He favors straightforward, practical work in sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

02

How Edward works

He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people name what matters and find meaning when life feels uncertain. Edward holds a Doctorate in Education in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health and brings 23 years of experience to his practice. His background includes research on professionals working with youth at risk for suicide and authorship on caregiver and hospice topics.

He describes progress as a series of small changes that add up over time. In appointments he combines evidence-based techniques with a focus on real-life routines. Clients can expect to track goals, practice skills between sessions, and adjust plans as needed.

He encourages steady, disciplined effort rather than quick fixes. He draws on past service work and endurance pursuits to model resilience and persistence. That practical perspective shows up in therapy as structured steps, problem-solving, and attention to purpose and values.

Online support options

How CBT and Existential Work Translate to Online Therapy

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can guide clients through practical skill practice, thought records, and activity planning to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Existential Therapy helps people name what matters and face questions about meaning, responsibility, and life direction. In remote sessions this approach supports reflection, values clarification, and decisions about purpose when someone is coping with change or career crossroads.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as short-term techniques give way to deeper meaning work.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support between sessions or to use written check-ins when that feels easier. These options help make regular work on goals more practical and consistent.
