About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over five years experience working in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients of all ages, from single digits to those facing end-of-life dilemmas. Similarly, I have worked with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, mood, thought and personality disorders.

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral and humanistic principles. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) quite often as I find the Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) understanding of mental health to be both accessible and helpful in understanding otherwise complex material and believe mindfulness and acceptance are fundamental to a person's overall wellbeing. I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual. You are the expert on you and, so, your knowledge and input will be integral to identifying and addressing your goals as you see them. We will work together to identify your strengths and build off them to meet these goals.

It can be difficult to acknowledge and address mental health concerns. It requires you to not only divulge but explore intimate thoughts, feelings and behaviors both past and present. Whether you are ready to take this step, or simply interested in exploring options, I am here for you.

I am available for any and all treatment formats available to this site but, as I try to be flexible in my response and available to clients I sometimes may need to ask you to reschedule to accommodate changes. If I do I will almost always do so same day or sooner but always at your preference.

I look forward to meeting you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lucas Hurzeler. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Ah! I inadvertently answered “completely disagree” with one of my survey answers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Lucas is amazing. I’m glad I linked up with him!

Lucas has made me feel safe and comfortable in a relatively short time. He has been nothing but supportive of my comfort zones, and willing to work with me at my pace. I am so appreciative of him for diving in to somewhat uncharted territory for him, in the online world. Lucas identified how I best interpret, and understand the information he provides me, and excels at a timely response. I feel heard, supported, and accepted. I am very lucky the first therapist I have seemed out, was such a positive experience.

Very engaging and answers each question I have with deep answers. Seems like he really thinks about his responses and truly cares about issues I bring up. Very highly recommended.
