About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who supports families and parents facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with people navigating relationship and family problems, intimacy concerns, career stress, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar.
Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find clearer ways to cope and make everyday changes. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Background and approach
She focuses on building trust and listening carefully before suggesting tools. Conversations are interactive and strength-based, with an emphasis on respect and compassion. The goal is to find strategies that fit daily life and family demands.
In practice she blends proven methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches are used to teach skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and clarify values that matter most to each family. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also inform short-term goal work.
Lugannys brings six years of clinical experience to her work and holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, FL LMHC MH18691. She has experience in community settings supporting children, teens, and families with a wide range of concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Parents and caregivers who prefer remote options can expect practical tools and steady support. She aims to help clients make progress on daily problems, parenting strains, and family tensions through clear steps and ongoing collaboration.
Approaches that guide online family and parenting work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with parenting stress and mood issues.Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps parents feel understood before suggesting next steps. This approach is useful when family members need a supportive space to talk through hard topics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and builds coping skills. It teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood, and it can be adapted to address parenting challenges and relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and changing needs.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let parents meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue support between appointments. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to focus on practical skills, homework, and ongoing check-ins that move family goals forward.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
