Luis Navarrete
Professionally, I hold dual licenses in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), allowing me to work with individuals, families, and couples. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression, with a deep passion for supporting those who have experienced trauma.
I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression, with a deep passion for supporting those who have experienced trauma.
I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic connection, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, valued, and empowered. FYI--starting 1/1/2027 I will be only accepting new couples for Private Pay.
First session
In our first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming space where we begin building a genuine, trusting relationship. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and start identifying what’s most important to you. I’ll ask questions to get a better understanding of your experiences, and together we’ll begin to create a plan tailored to your needs. Whether we’re using CBT, TF-CBT, or Solution-Focused Therapy, the pace is always guided by your comfort level, you set the tone, and I support you every step of the way.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to truly connect with clients. I believe that no technique or intervention matters if you don’t feel seen, heard, and safe with me. Building that connection is always my first priority. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are, and we can build trust at your pace. Once that foundation is in place, we can explore strategies and tools that fit your needs, but it all starts with the relationship.
Ideal clients
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are looking for a supportive, collaborative, and client-centered approach to therapy. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or seeking personal growth, I work well with individuals who value a trusting, genuine therapeutic relationship. My clients tend to be open to exploring their thoughts and emotions and appreciate a space where their unique needs and goals guide the process.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my online practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Through structured sessions, we work together to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other concerns by changing the way clients think and respond to difficult situations.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify their strengths and build on what’s already working in their lives. We focus on setting clear, achievable goals and creating small, practical steps toward positive change. This approach fits seamlessly with virtual sessions, offering a supportive and forward-looking space where clients can stay motivated and empowered.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support children, adolescents, and their caregivers in processing traumatic experiences in a safe and structured way. Through a blend of psychoeducation, coping skills, gradual exposure, and cognitive processing, I help clients reduce trauma-related symptoms and build resilience.
