About Francisco
Francisco Lopez Jr is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. He speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of experience to his work. He aims to make beginning therapy easier for people who feel stuck or uncertain about the next step.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful experiences like trauma, family problems, or low self-esteem.
How Francisco works
Sessions are aimed at practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. He also supports people dealing with panic attacks, mood shifts, and feelings of isolation. Francisco uses approaches that center the client’s goals and strengths.
He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He works with issues that often come from family of origin, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, or relationship transitions like divorce and separation.
He also helps with commitment questions, communication problems, and the search for life purpose. Sessions can include curiosity about values, narrative work to reframe past events, and motivational interviewing to build commitment to change. Outside of work he enjoys travel with his partner, time with family and friends, and caring for two labradoodles.

How His Approach Translates to Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In online sessions this means the therapist centers your concerns and adjusts pace and topics to your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression and then tests different actions to change them. Online CBT often uses homework and brief practical experiments that fit into daily life.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps and what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls are good when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule evenings or weekends and to keep momentum between sessions.
