About Luis
Dr. Luis Ramirez helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and phobias. He speaks English and Spanish and practices from New York.
He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. He uses short, clear conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on daily problems and small steps that add up.
He draws on tools from cognitive behavioral work, attachment ideas, and emotionally focused methods to address patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
His background includes nine years of clinical practice and work as a licensed clinical social worker. That experience informs how he balances symptom-focused tools with attention to relationship and life story. He prioritizes helping people build skills they can use between sessions.
Dr. Ramirez takes a collaborative approach. He listens for what you want to change and helps set simple, realistic goals.
The work can include talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways of relating, or learning skills to calm intense feelings. He offers multiple online formats so people can fit therapy into busy lives. Sessions can be scheduled around work and caregiving demands.
When needed, he will adjust pace and focus to match what feels most helpful at the time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can explore these patterns through conversations that identify hurts and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions; this approach helps clarify goals and priorities in a straightforward way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, phobias, and mood concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful in real life.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill coaching. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, mood tracking, or homework support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and skills practice.
