About Lurdelis

Lurdelis Morales is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who trained with a Master of Arts in Education from Cambridge College, finishing in 2020 with a trauma focus. She moved from crisis mental health work into independent practice to offer longer-term, personalized support. Her experience helps her stay calm under pressure and respond with steady care.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Parents and caregivers can expect clear communication and strategies they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Lurdelis listens first, then helps identify small steps to reduce stress and improve daily routines. Her background includes five years working in high-intensity crisis settings. That work taught her how to support people facing intense stress, trauma, and big life changes.

Those skills are now used in a slower-paced independent practice setting. Lurdelis focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, feelings of isolation, mood issues, and building self-love.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to meet language needs. Therapy with her aims to be practical and steady. She helps people break larger problems into manageable pieces and practices skills together in sessions.

For parents looking for support around family and parenting topics, she brings crisis experience and an emphasis on workable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits

Two evidence-based techniques she uses are trauma-informed care and skills-based coping work. Trauma-informed care means noticing how past hurts affect current feelings and pacing work so people feel safe while they process. Skills-based coping work focuses on simple tools for anxiety, stress, and mood problems such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning.

She also draws on practical problem-solving strategies to tackle parenting and caregiver stress. This involves breaking large problems into smaller steps, practicing communication techniques, and trying adjustments between sessions to see what helps most. These approaches are aimed at usable change rather than complex theory.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and clients are involved every step of the way. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then tailor techniques together to match needs and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy parents and caregivers, letting people fit support into tight schedules and return to conversations when needed. Online sessions make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
