About
Dr. Douglass Lobo is an LMHC with thirty years of clinical work focused on children, teenagers, and their families. He has developed extensive experience across school systems and youth-serving settings, working with behavioral and academic challenges, foster care populations, and youth involved with juvenile justice. He consults with Miami-County Public Schools, New York Public Schools, and several Charter School Systems and maintains a thriving practice in Florida.
His approach recognizes that counseling is not a miracle cure but often a useful space to sort thoughts and feelings. He assists with a wide range of concerns that include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and family problems, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Dr. Lobo emphasizes practical guidance and non-judgemental feedback. He aims to help families and young people identify manageable steps toward improvement and to restore functioning where behavioral and academic difficulties have become barriers to daily life.

Online therapy approaches
Dr. Lobo offers remote sessions that blend client-centered listening with structured skill-building. In client-centered work he places the individual or family’s priorities at the center of each session, creating space for people to express concerns and identify what matters most to them. This approach supports collaborative goal setting and steady progress over time.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to develop practical strategies for change. In remote sessions CBT techniques can be taught and practiced in conversation, with homework and tools discussed between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is available for people facing ambivalence about change; that style emphasizes curiosity and partnership to explore values and increase internal motivation.
These methods are adaptable to video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective participants can assess fit through an initial conversation and choose the communication mode that best matches their needs.
