About me

Greetings,

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor that graduated from University of South Florida in Tampa, in May of 2015. My masters program was in Rehabilitation and Mental Health counseling with certification in Marriage and Family therapy. Over the course of my clinical work history I have worked in the following facility settings: At-Home, Residential, Inpatient/Lockdown facility, Outpatient, and Community Program locations. I have also worked the following types of clients: children, adolescents, adults, elderly, people with disabilities, people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ community, and people living in non-monogamous/polyamorous and BDSM or kink lifestyles. My style of therapy tends to focus on creative/narrative themes, with person-centered/solution-focused goal setting, while including or utilizing various techniques: existential, reality therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, EFT, REBT, and evidence based workbook/homework services.

I am a caring, empathetic, and creative individual that believes that connection and motivating growth/personal development is the key to making progress in therapeutic services. Utilizing humor, metaphor, and talk therapy are additional methods utilized in my individual services. I look forward to getting the opportunity to help you become the person you hope to be.

In regards to Teens, I have experience working with adolescents in Outpatient, At-Home, and Residential settings. I have also worked with adolescents working on Identity, LGBTQ+, and family issues.

Sincerely,
Luis Lopez-Mitchell, LMHC, LMFT

My son has improved tremendously since working with Luis and has great things to say about this counseling process.

Written on Nov 04, 2024 after therapy with Luis for 3 years and 5 months on issues concerning lgbt, and intimacy-related issues

Luis is attentive, professional, and insightful. He reflects on what I’ve shared and gives helpful suggestions, but I’m responsible for directing my goals which is beneficial to my growth. He explains things in relatable language, is approachable, and kindly challenges my thought processes when needed. He’s a great fit for me and great at what he does.

Luis has been effective helping us, an intercultural marriage (Japanese/Latino), getting back to be a loving and supportive team, with assertive communication skills! Marriage is a marathon, and he is coaching us all the way! Couldn’t recommend him and the app more!

Luis has been a great therapist since the beginning of our couples session. He is extraordinary in noticing even the slightest changes in countenance and mood, he is very attentive, kind, empathetic and virtuous. Not to mention he radiates positive energy and compassion. We are very happy we had the chance to meet someone like him. Strongly recommend.

A fantastic therapist and all around person! Luis knows what to do and how to make you feel like you're worth it. I can't recommend him enough!

Written on Aug 27, 2022 after therapy with Luis for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, eating disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Luis is very good at what he does for me. Always there to listen to my life issues when they come up and helps me guide myself to different ways to deal with those issues. He’s so easy to talk freely to with whatever I have going on that I would normally not share to anyone. I always know he’s got my back to help me become a better me.

Written on Aug 24, 2022 after therapy with Luis for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Luis is a wonderful therapist and has helped my partner and I begin to navigate some challenging conversations and strengthen our communication and relationship.

He is very supportive and understanding and very easy to talk to. He responds to messages really quickly and has some great worksheets and resources that’s e use through the app.

Even though we live in Australia, the distance doesn’t seem to matter. It works so well over the app and I would recommend giving it a go. I am glad we did

Written on Jul 01, 2022 after therapy with Luis for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

Before Luis, I matched with a therapist who didn’t feel like a great fit. I’m so glad I felt empowered to keep looking because he’s excellent for me! During our first session, we discussed non-monogamy, my life goals, communication — I left beaming because he’s well-read, curious, and a great listener. I also found it valuable that Luis explained what the session would look like and took & sent notes. Our second session was a little different in that it left me with several tools to enhance communication in my relationship. Leaving this review two sessions in because I look forward to working with Luis again & feel he’ll remain skilled.

Active listener, good understanding of many topics and uses his empathy and compassion but at the same time has very straight forward clear communication skills which help me move forward toward my goals. I struggled for a while to find the right match for a therapist and finding Luis was such a relief, grateful for our sessions.

Luis as been my therapist for a couple of months now anf is the only therapist I have felt completely safe talking to about my sex life as a sex worker, but also as a sexual assault survivor and a queer individual. I feel like he understands what im concerned about and is always bringing up exercises that help me out. I never want to change therapist again cause I really feel safe talking to him.

Working with Luis has been fantastic. He has helped me re-prioritize and re-focus on parts of my life that are important to my happiness and well being. He's helped me gain a greater understanding of identity and what I'm looking and for and value in various aspects of my life, including relationships and work.

Luis has helped me a ton. He keeps me on track and is able to engage deeply without bringing any judgment or ideology into the conversation. He's super flexible with his schedule and follows up constantly. Probably the first therapist I've ever noticed actually moving my personal development forward.

Luis is an exceptional person to consider if you are looking for counseling for your teen (or yourself). He listens and is relatable for teens which is very important. We have seen so much progress and are thankful for all his help with my daughters anxiety and transition through teenage years. He is a life changer!
