Lugannys Soto

Lugannys Soto is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as grief, relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, career questions, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. Lugannys aims to make starting therapy easier for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Her style is interactive and collaborative. She focuses on strengths and builds rapport so clients can speak openly about what matters to them. Sessions are driven by the client's goals and personal values rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Lugannys uses person-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people set manageable goals. In practical terms that means talking through what’s getting in the way, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. She has six years of clinical experience, including work in community mental health with children, adolescents, and families. That background informs her practical approach to communication, parenting concerns, and behavior change. If someone is ready to start, Lugannys helps create a treatment plan tailored to everyday life. She focuses on small steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Her aim is to support people as they find clearer direction and healthier routines.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions toward them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can guide what they want to work on.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lugannys will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and everyday life. That conversation usually involves trying techniques, seeing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It can let people use shorter check-ins when a quick course correction is needed, or allow longer meetings when deeper conversation is useful. Many find that remote sessions help maintain consistency and make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings.
