About Lugannys
Lugannys Soto is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions. Lugannys draws on six years of professional experience and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Her style is interactive and collaborative. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship and uses a strengths-based approach that centers the person's goals. Conversations in sessions are respectful and direct, aimed at finding what actually helps in a person's life.
Lugannys blends several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going and to practice different ways of responding. Client-Centered techniques help keep the person’s own values and priorities at the center of the work.
Sessions also draw on Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence. Solution-Focused Therapy helps create short-term goals and practical steps to move forward. Across these methods, Lugannys aims to make therapy relevant and doable for everyday life.
People who choose Lugannys can expect clear communication about goals and collaborative planning. She frames progress as small, measurable steps and adjusts the approach as needs change.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete alternatives; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and aligning work with the person's priorities, which supports rapport and ongoing motivation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adapt them over time rather than sticking to a single approach from the start.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care through life changes. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and match methods to what you need and prefer.
