Luzviminda was very friendly and helpful, was able to get to the crux of my problem right away and gave me feedback that I needed to hear, instead of what I wanted to hear. I gained a lot of insight that will be very helpful moving forward.
More about Luzviminda
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Wyoming Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have a Colorado License for Clinical Social Worker. I have a degree in Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Wyoming. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have 10 years of experience working with a variety of people with diverse background. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, families and groups in community-based outpatient as well as residential treatment settings. I also have a 3 year experience in the correctional setting providing mental health services to both male and female population. I provide individual, family and group therapy. I have a variety of experience working with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, family conflict, relationship issues, loss and grief, stress and conflicts, motivation, low self esteem problem and other personal life issues
As a clinician, I embrace a strengths-based perspective, and I incorporate different theories in order to better understand and meet the needs of those I serve. These theories include cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, reality-based, mindfulness-based and family systems theories. Techniques that I utilize may include dialogue, psycho education, relaxation, reframing of negative thoughts, positive decision-making and mindfulness. I can also provide homework and worksheets as necessary and as preferred by the person I am also EMDR trained which I find very helpful in working with those who experience trauma. However, I will not be using the EMDR process in this platform. But I can incorporate any therapeutic information/knowledge that maybe valuable to the person. We will work together to establish realistic and attainable goals for you to achieve. You will be formulating your own goals and has full control to modify them to better suit your needs.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very kind and knowledgable
Luz is amazing!! She has been a source of kindness, compassion, and sound reasoning to help me through some very difficult family struggles. I’m so thankful to have her and her guidance. She has truly given me some amazing tools and helped me not only diagnose, but work through some old childhood traumas I wasn’t even aware I had. Thank you so much for helping me work through and become a more whole person!
She’s been the best therapist ever !! I’m having couples therapy with her and she’s giving us options and ideas for us to practice. ❤️
I absolutely love Luz- her guidance and advice is exactly what I’ve needed at this point in my life. She is wonderful.
Luz was very helpful and I hope to connect with her again to learn some more methods of self healing. She was super caring and understanding of my issues. I really like her and will be seeing her again

Luz was a good listener and helped me resolve my stressful situation and sadness. I appreciate your kind, compassionate demeanor and ability to ask appropriate questions to lead me to my own answers and insight. Thank you Luz.
Luz was such a helpful therapist for me. She listened to my issues and gently guided me on ways to address them. I really appreciated her kind tone and caring attitude. Highly recommend!!
She's amazing! She's helping me through some tough stuff!
Luz has been an extremely supportive pillar in this short time I've had with BetterHelp, she was always supportive of my goals, and changes I want to make and not afraid to tell me some of the more difficult things that I may have to work on through or come to terms with. She gave realistic expectations and feedback, while not letting those goals impede on future plans or goals. My last meeting left me feeling ready to take on my new goals and perspectives.
