About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career questions, bipolar disorder, and depression. Lugannys also focuses on abandonment, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, commitment and communication problems, substance and process addictions, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, money worries, and life purpose concerns.
Her style is interactive and collaborative. She centers conversations on what matters to the client and uses straightforward techniques to address day-to-day problems. Sessions tend to involve practical skill building, clarifying values, and setting achievable steps to try between meetings.
Lugannys draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused approaches. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and identify what matters most to them.
She emphasizes respect and steady rapport in sessions. Clients can expect direct conversation about goals, barriers, and next steps, with adjustments as progress is tracked. The focus is on workable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Her practice in Florida supports English-speaking clients. People interested in starting are asked to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how this style might fit their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that reflect their values. It is often useful for anxiety, life changes, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lugannys will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what works, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments so they work during or between remote sessions.
