Mimi Lugo
Hello! I am a bilingual counselor, a Veteran, and a former School Counselor. These diverse life experiences have shaped my open-minded, culturally attuned, and deeply grounded approach to therapy. In my virtual practice, I work primarily with adults and older adolescents. Using an integrative therapeutic modality, I tailor our sessions to your specific needs. My goal is to serve as an empowering, stable, and understanding presence in your life. We will work collaboratively to navigate your unique journey, uncovering actionable insights together. Let's partner to build the resilience and clarity you deserve. Reach out today to get started.
These experiences have helped me develop a deep appreciation for different cultures and a truly open-minded approach to therapy. I work primarily with adults, couples, and older adolescents (14-19).
First session
In our first session, we will start with introductions to get comfortable with one another. I’ll walk you through the informed consent for telehealth so you feel secure in our digital space, and then we will dive into the specific reason which brings you to therapy. We won’t just talk in circles; we will collaborate to create a clear treatment plan for you to follow, ensuring you have a roadmap for your growth.
Strengths
My clinical style is defined by warmth, a healthy, yet clean sense of humor, and a deep commitment to your empowerment. I am known for "real talk"—providing compassionate, direct honesty because I believe you deserve absolute clarity on your healing journey. As your therapist, I balance deep, focused listening with active advocacy. Consider me a dedicated champion in your corner, working right alongside you to uncover the inner strength you need to tackle life's challenges.
Ideal clients
I specialize in guiding teenagers and adults through past trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and chronic stress. My virtual practice offers a flexible, secure space to process difficult thoughts and navigate life crises without judgment. Using an integrative therapeutic approach, I blend evidence-based modalities to fit your unique needs. We won't just talk about the problems; we'll collaborate on practical, actionable strategies to help you manage daily stressors and build long-term resilience. Whether you are looking for deep healing, or structured tools to manage the daily grind, you don't have to carry it alone. Reach out today to schedule your virtual consultation.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a fancy way of saying we work together to identify the 'thought loops' that keep you stuck. I don’t just want to talk about the problem; I want to give you a toolkit to change how you react to it. We look at the connection between your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions to help you build a more intentional life." And while each client is different, I am always ready to be flexible and use the techniques needed for a client.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I also will use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based approach designed to help you get 'unstuck' from the thoughts that follow a traumatic experience. Trauma often changes how we see ourselves and the world; I help you examine those shifts and find a more balanced, manageable perspective."
