About Lugannys Soto

Welcome! My name is Lugannys Soto and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, and a National Certified Counselor. I have eight years of experience working with at-risk children, adolescents, adults and their families in a community mental health setting. I have worked directly with clients with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, substance abuse, anger management, communication, parenting problems, ADHD, and family conflicts.

My counseling style is interactive, strength-based, and collaborative. I believe in the therapeutic relationship and building good rapport with my clients to create a safe space to have open dialogues about their concerns. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. We will work collaboratively to discover strategies and solutions that work best for you. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Being aware of your needs and seeking help is a difficult yet courageous choice. If you are ready to take that step, I would be honored to walk with you on this healing journey, to support you, and empower you towards the path to wellbeing.

I look forward to working with you!

“After literally several unsatisfactory turn always from other counselors, and despite I wasn’t in very good shape when I first met her, Luganny made me feel at ease very early on. I feel she has a unique perspective for my particular issues, while possessing a nature that makes me feel at ease. I see myself as very hard to relate to sometimes, but she has taken the time to ask questions and hear me out. <br /> I’m very glad we met.”
