About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting struggles, and relationship or family concerns. She brings six years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use each day.
Lugannys writes and talks plainly, and she aims to make therapy easy to fit into busy lives. Her style is interactive and collaborative. She emphasizes building a trusting connection and treating people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
Sessions mix listening with hands-on strategies so clients leave with concrete tools to try between meetings. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with elements of Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix helps with mood issues, addictive behaviors, managing anger, and navigating life changes.
She has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic internet behaviors. Lugannys also addresses concerns about abandonment, guilt and shame, communication problems, and finding life purpose. Therapy sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for busy parents
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior. It focuses on values and taking small, meaningful actions toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to find patterns that keep problems going, then teaches specific skills to change those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the relationship itself, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people feel understood and explore solutions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your concerns and goals, then suggests methods that match your needs. Over a few sessions you and the therapist can adjust the plan so it fits your life and parenting responsibilities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many families. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is inconvenient. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or fitting support into a break at work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside parenting and other obligations.
