About

Luca Hawkins is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a solid background in the mental health field. He completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and brings eight years of clinical experience to his work.

He focuses primarily on adolescents and young adults who are coping with depression, ADHD, anxiety, and OCD. Luca also places a strong emphasis on gender-diverse youth and is passionate about working with LGBTQ people. He combines life experience with professional training to provide gender-affirming care.

His clinical training includes interventions such as rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and exposure therapy. He has also undertaken specialized training in gender-affirming care, supporting LGBTQ youth, addressing self-mutilation, and conducting suicide assessment and safety planning. In addition, he has completed extra training addressing adult issues.

He aims to create an environment where serious topics are addressed with a sense of warmth and approachability — he often works to make therapy engaging while tackling difficult issues. Luca notes that he has very little experience or training in addictions.

Luca prefers video or phone sessions and does not typically provide chat-only therapy. His availability is limited, mostly during early mornings and weekend mornings, but he asks prospective clients to inquire if they do not see an open slot. Sessions generally run 30 to 40 minutes.

He is a licensed clinical professional counselor, a credential that indicates he is qualified to provide therapeutic services.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person counseling for most individuals.

One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their needs and schedule, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they do not feel the fit is right. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while fitting treatment into a busy life.
