About Edward

Dr. Edward De La Loza is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports clients facing career questions, depression, and major life changes.

He blends practical coaching with therapeutic care to help people take small steps that add up to real change. He trained in clinical practice and holds a Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health.

Background and approach

That background informs his interest in how people grow and change over time. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential ideas about meaning, and a model he developed called Seven Dimensions of Transformational Living to shape sessions. Sessions focus on clear, manageable actions rather than long lectures.

He helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He emphasizes incremental progress and goal-focused work so clients can see concrete results between meetings. Edward also brings research experience and practical projects from earlier humanitarian work into his outlook.

That combination often makes his style down-to-earth and results-oriented. He encourages disciplined habits and small challenges to build confidence and resilience. People typically leave sessions with a short plan they can try during the week.

Follow-up meetings look at what worked, what didn’t, and the next small step toward clearer goals.

Online support

Existential and Cognitive Approaches for Online Care

Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and how life changes affect daily living. It helps people face uncertainty and figure out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That may mean using CBT exercises for immediate symptom relief and existential conversations to explore larger life purpose or values.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity across locations.
