Lopez has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma-related issues, and communication problems. She is licensed as IL Psychologist 071010714 and SD Psychologist 629.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Lopez uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience. This approach starts with careful listening and follows the client’s priorities, helping people feel heard and respected while they decide what to change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect one another. CBT offers specific tools people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage panic, tackle addictive behaviors, and improve sleep and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dr. Lopez will discuss goals and try methods that fit each person’s needs and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, revisit brief check-ins between sessions, and use different ways of communicating depending on comfort and need.

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.
