About Edward
Dr. Edward De La Loza is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and career or workplace concerns. He also supports those facing depression, life changes, and men’s issues. He brings 23 years of experience and a practical, goal-focused style to sessions.
He uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning and life purpose when that is important to the person. He emphasizes small, steady changes as a pathway to bigger results.
Edward holds a Doctorate in Education in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health, which informs his work with individuals across different life stages. He wrote a guidebook about caregiving and has researched mental health professionals’ work with youth at risk for suicide. Those projects shaped his interest in real-world solutions.
His approach combines structured techniques with conversations about values, goals, and daily habits. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps - testing ideas between meetings and reviewing what worked. He values disciplined effort and steady progress, drawn from both professional practice and personal endurance activities such as long-distance cycling.
People who choose him can expect a clear, pragmatic tone and an emphasis on action. He encourages collaboration on goals and adapts tools to each person’s situation. If you want support with work stress, direction, or improving how you handle difficult emotions, he aims to help you move forward.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and fit
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. It is hands-on and works well when people want concrete tools they can try between sessions.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and purpose. It helps when questions about life direction, identity, or finding purpose are central to someone’s concerns. Conversations tend to be reflective and aimed at clarifying what matters to the person.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, preferences, and needs and suggest a path that combines methods as useful. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to each person’s situation.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and everyday life. It can reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins during a workday or between obligations. The therapist’s background in CBT and existential work means sessions can focus on practical exercises or deeper meaning-based conversations depending on what the client wants.
