About Sylvia

Sylvia Luna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing addictions, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and family conflicts. She focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use when life changes feel overwhelming. Sylvia aims to build a straightforward working relationship where people feel heard and challenged to grow.

Sylvia uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify values and find meaning after loss or major change.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to mix practical skill-building with conversations about purpose and connection. Her background includes four years documented experience as an LPC working in Texas. She has focused on issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and feelings of guilt or shame.

This allows her to bring focused attention to both mental health and substance-related struggles. Sylvia works in a direct and collaborative way. She often helps people practice new ways to respond to strong feelings and repair strained relationships.

She also supports clients in setting boundaries, rebuilding trust, and developing healthier self-regard. People can expect sessions that mix reflection with concrete strategies. Sylvia tailors plans to each person’s goals and day-to-day reality.

She emphasizes steady progress and practical tools that make life a bit more manageable.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sylvia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anger, low self-esteem, and coping with addiction triggers. Existential Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on questions of meaning, values, and life purpose. That approach can help when grief, major life changes, or feelings of isolation make life feel uncertain.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust the approach as therapy progresses. The aim is to pair skills-based tools with conversations about what matters most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to check in between live sessions. Many people find that having multiple ways to connect helps sustain progress and keeps work moving forward when life gets busy.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
