Background and approach
That means listening carefully, asking questions that clarify what matters most, and working together on small goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are often used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people find internal reasons to change and to boost readiness for new habits.
Sessions can focus on improving self-esteem, handling guilt and shame, or coping with loneliness and isolation. She also helps people address attachment-related worries and feelings of abandonment. Luciana supports practical life changes too, such as improving communication or clarifying life purpose.
Conversations aim to be concrete, with steps that feel doable. She accepts international clients and provides services in English from her Texas practice. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.
People who want clear, compassionate guidance around mood, motivation, and stressful life transitions may find her style helpful.
