About Douglass
Dr. Douglass Lobo is a licensed mental health counselor with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or feeling overwhelmed by family and parenting challenges.

He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness strategies to reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ready to make a change.

That experience informs how he supports parents, caregivers, and young people through behavioral and academic struggles. He works in English and accepts international clients.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and helping people talk through what matters most to them, which can be especially useful for parenting and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it includes clear strategies and short exercises to practice between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and understand emotional patterns that affect relationships. It can be useful when intimacy, communication, or attachment issues are central to the work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays focused and useful.
