About Andres
Andres Hoyo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem and career. He also supports people facing parenting and family concerns, blended family challenges, immigration worries, and process addictions like gambling or exercise. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Andres works in a collaborative, client-centered way. He aims to create a calm space where people guide the conversation and discover their own strengths. He uses practical tools drawn from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative work, and motivational interviewing to help people make changes they choose.
His approach is straightforward and conversational. He helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and then practices new ways of responding. He also helps people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves to reduce shame and increase agency.
Andres brings eight years of clinical experience to his practice. He focuses on gentle, steady progress rather than quick fixes. In sessions he encourages small experiments and real-world steps that fit each person’s life and goals.

How Andres Uses Mindfulness, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgment. It can reduce reactivity and make it easier to pause before acting, which is useful for anxiety, impulsivity, and stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions and can help with mood disorders, anxiety, and addictive patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist follows the client's lead and offers reflection and support to help the person find personal solutions and build confidence.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Andres will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people meet from whatever quiet space they can arrange. These practical advantages help many people keep momentum between appointments.
