Luisa DeLuca is the real thing - emphatic, skillful, patient and even wise. It is not an overstatement to say that she has literally "cured" me of an issue that plagued me for all of my adult life. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Hi! Thank you for viewing my profile.
I have 28 years of experience in providing mental health counseling to individuals and couples in the state of RI. I would describe my style as "warm" and caring. I love helping people reach their individual potentials. My therapeutic persuasion is primarily cognitive-behavioral. I truly believe that the way in which we think and perceive an event is based upon life experiences and has alot to do with how we feel. If we can change the way we think, we can then change how we feel. I like to work collaboratively with a client. I see my role as a facilitator, to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. Most of my treatment expertise is in the area of depression, anxiety and issues related to sexual orientation, gender identification and gender dysphoria.
If you choose to work with me, I promise to truly listen to your concerns and help you formulate a plan to address your issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Talented and committed to my well-being -what more could you ask?
Luisa DeLuca is the real thing - emphatic, skillful, patient and even wise. It is not an overstatement to say that she has literally "cured" me of an issue that plagued me for all of my adult life. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
Luisa, I can honestly say has saved my life. From one of my lowest points, Luisa guided me to realize and release so much that I had buried deep inside. With words, support and clear focus points, I have been supported every step of the way. I am bravely looking at life again because of Luisa.
Luisa is an extraordinary listener! I love the way she makes suggestions, as opposed to a more "Rogerian" approach. This is what I was looking for. With other therapists, I would often dread the meeting. Now, I look forward to them! I wish I had found Luisa years ago!!
Luisa DeLuca is an amazing therapist and (I suspect) human being....I highly recommend her. I know my "case" is complex. Gender issues. Addiction issues. Getting older issues. Family issues. And, to her credit, Luisa has been able to be with it all and provide support and valuable insights often over and above what one might expect in an online therapy relationship.
I appreciate the practical advice for support right now in the moment, as well as the guidance to uncover the deeper issues. Luisa's realistic, understanding and straight forward approach is already proving effective. Very pleased that I connected.
Wisdom and genuine concern make a great therapeutic experience.
Luisa is very understanding and listens to me very well which is something I value very strongly
Luisa is incredible! She has helped me grow and understand myself in so many new ways. And she has provided me with tools to use in my daily life.
I am very comfortable talking with Luisa, more then any other therapist I’ve worked with. She is straightforward and kind without resorting to “therapy voice” I feel confident that she understands where I am coming from.
I look forward to all our sessions! I always come out of them with a clearer understanding of what I’m feeling and how to cope.
From our first meeting I knew I made the right choice. Luisa is very attentive to what I’m saying. She understands my feelings and is everything I need at this present time in a life that I’m very confused about. Thank You Luisa.
Shes very nice and helpful
Luisa DeLuca is an amazing counselor. Luisa is a great listener and always give thoughtful, meaningful advice. The sessions fly by because she is so easy to talk to, and I've comfortably shared more with her than any other counselor I've spoken to in the past. My spirits are lifted and I have great resources now after just two sessions. Highly recommend :)
