Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and he also works with international clients. In conversation, he uses straightforward approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on existential ideas to help people clarify meaning and purpose when facing big decisions or loss.
His style tends to be practical and disciplined, focusing on small, steady changes over time. Clients can expect concrete tools and homework between sessions when those fit goals. He blends practical skill-building with reflective conversation about values and direction.
Many people find this mix helpful when they need both coping strategies and clearer life direction. Dr. De La Loza has also worked in international humanitarian settings and written about caregiver and hospice issues.
That experience informs his focus on resilience, purposeful action, and realistic steps toward change.
Approaches that fit online work and everyday life
Dr. De La Loza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and then test new, more helpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is concrete and action-oriented, so it often suits someone who wants tools to manage symptoms and handle workplace or relationship strain.He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify values, meaning, and life purpose when facing big decisions or transition. That approach focuses on questions about direction, responsibility, and what matters most, which can be useful when career or identity issues feel uncertain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending CBT skills with existential reflection or leaning more heavily on one approach as progress unfolds.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video lets visual cues guide the conversation. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat or text works well for quick coaching-style exchanges or brief check-ins between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep momentum while balancing work, family, and travel.
