Mr Louis David Willoughby

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am a therapist, nurse, and professor. I have been in private practice for 29 years, helpng clients become more effective in their lives.”

About Me

With 29 years in private practice, I offer a grounded approach. My experience as a therapist, nurse, and professor shapes how I guide individuals and families. We develop practical strategies together, helping you become more effective in your life. Clients seeking compassionate care and practical wisdom often find a good fit here. We can explore patterns and build actionable steps for lasting change.

Approach

Grounded in decades of practice, I orient sessions toward clear, manageable steps that fit your daily life and values. In my Los Angeles office and via secure online sessions in English, we move between focused conversation, brief skill-building exercises, and agreed home practices so momentum carries between meetings. I track patterns—mood shifts, relationship triggers, substance or health-related stressors—and we adjust plans collaboratively, keeping goals realistic and measurable. Adults and couples seeking steady, practical progress tend to find this approach helpful.
