About Edward
LCSW in California with 23 years of experience, Dr. Edward De La Loza helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and life changes. He works with individual adults on communication problems, control issues, life purpose, men’s issues, and workplace problems. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy in his practice.
Edward draws on long experience in mental health and organizational leadership. He holds a Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health. He has worked in varied cultural and healthcare settings and participated in an international humanitarian effort delivering hospital beds to an underserved area.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps and small changes that add up. He integrates evidence-based CBT techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses existential ideas to help people examine meaning, responsibility, and life direction.
He describes a disciplined, incremental approach informed by research and by his own experience with long-distance cycling and endurance events. That background informs an emphasis on steady progress and habit change rather than quick fixes.
Edward is the author of The Consumer’s Guide to Caregiver, Hospice, and Quality of Life Solutions. His doctoral research looked at mental health professionals’ experiences with youth at risk for suicide. Those research and writing projects shape how he structures goals and interventions in practice.

How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means tracking patterns, testing different behaviors, and building small routines to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or lift low mood. It’s practical work aimed at changing what people think and do to see different results.Existential Therapy centers on questions of meaning, responsibility, and choice. Sessions using this approach look at values, life direction, and the commitments that shape day-to-day decisions. It’s useful when people feel stuck, question purpose, or want clearer personal priorities.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes whether sessions lean more toward CBT exercises, existential reflection, or a combination of both.

These practical benefits make it easier to keep consistent progress while balancing work and family commitments.
