Dr. Lou Bordisso , LMFT

Dr. Lou Bordisso brings 35 years of clinical experience to a practice centered on helping people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. As a licensed LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he focuses on identity, relationships, and personal growth, offering informed support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and life transitions.

He has particular expertise working with LGBTQ communities and attends closely to issues that arise across the lifespan, including midlife shifts, young adult transitions, and workplace stress. His work emphasizes building self-awareness, strengthening communication, and reducing isolation, with attention to intimacy-related concerns, family dynamics, and career or identity-related stressors.

Dr. Bordisso combines a compassionate, affirming stance with practical strategies to help clients address abandonment, attachment and codependency patterns, body image, chronic illness and caregiving strain, and other co-occurring concerns. He aims to empower individuals to cultivate resilience, clearer self-understanding, and more meaningful connections in their lives while honoring each person’s unique journey.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with an Experienced LMFT

Dr. Bordisso works from several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a supportive space where clients explore their values, identity, and relationships and build self-compassion and stronger communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching practical coping skills for daily life. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people facing life transitions, questions of purpose, or feelings of emptiness to clarify values and make intentional changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Bordisso works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their goals, preferences, and circumstances. He adapts methods over time as needs evolve, combining strategies to support deeper insight and practical change.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels, and geographic convenience. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, access support from home, and fit therapy into work and family commitments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the experience to each client.
