About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, grief, addictions, and life transitions. Andres works in both English and Spanish and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions.
He uses a client-centered approach that keeps the conversation focused on each person's goals and values. That means clients lead the pace while he listens, reflects, and offers practical options.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and geared toward finding real steps that fit everyday life. Andres blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and narrative techniques when they suit a person’s needs. He helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and notice patterns in their story that shape how they respond to stress.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with addictive behaviors. In sessions he aims to be direct and non-judgmental. He offers clear strategies, simple exercises, and space to process difficult emotions.
Common concerns he addresses include blended family issues, multicultural stressors, immigration-related strain, impulse control, and self-esteem struggles. People seeking support can expect a practical focus on skills and insight. Andres emphasizes small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
He frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities come first.

How Andres Uses Talk, Skills, and Mindfulness Online
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s priorities first. In practice this means Andres listens closely, follows what matters to the person, and helps them shape the agenda for each session. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to talk through parenting decisions, relationship stress, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Andres uses simple CBT tools to spot unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, or mood changes.
Mindfulness practices help people become more aware of stress and reactions in the moment. Short breathing exercises and attention skills are used to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation during challenging parenting moments or life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Andres will discuss different methods and adapt them based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He invites feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive and work well for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter updates, homework-like exchanges, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
