About Edward
Dr. Edward De La Loza is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and career challenges. He uses clear, practical steps to help people manage strong emotions and move forward.
His style blends structured work with conversations about values and direction. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also uses ideas from existential therapy to talk about life purpose and meaning when those questions feel urgent.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. Edward holds a Doctorate in Education in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health. That background informs how he connects clinical ideas to everyday life and work.
He has written about caregiving and researched mental health topics in clinical settings. Clients can expect a disciplined, goal-oriented approach that also makes room for personal values and story. He emphasizes actionable steps - skills to practice between meetings and ways to measure progress.
The approach is steady and practical rather than abstract. Outside of clinical work he pursues endurance cycling and other disciplined goals. Those pursuits shape his belief that incremental effort produces lasting change.
He encourages clients to try small shifts that build toward bigger results.

Approaches that fit online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. It breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches skills people can practice between sessions. Existential therapy invites discussion about meaning, life purpose, and personal values when those questions affect wellbeing; it helps people align choices with what matters most.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, values work, or a mix of both and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for interactive skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between meetings and keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and life routines and support consistent progress over time.
