About Bosco
Dr. Bosco Lorio is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. He focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and issues related to sexual identity and orientation. He also addresses concerns like addiction, grief, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and intimacy-related problems. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with people from diverse backgrounds.
He has worked in hospital and outpatient clinic settings since 2006. Much of his practice has involved veteran populations and LGBTQ+ clients, where he has focused on trauma-related concerns and questions about sexual identity. That background informs how he listens and plans treatment.
His main clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing also used as needed. In sessions he uses clear, practical techniques to address thinking patterns, emotional responses, and behavior. Sessions typically involve setting goals, trying specific skills, and reviewing what helps between meetings.
He describes himself as supportive and aims to reduce stigma and labels connected to mental health. He adapts the conversation and treatment plan based on each person’s situation. He combines straightforward behavioral-cognitive methods with emotional work when that fits the concern.
He practices part time on this platform while working full time in a hospital, and so often offers evening and weekend appointments. To start, a short questionnaire is used to match needs before scheduling a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment-related patterns. It helps people name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings shape reactions and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck and identifying values to guide action.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Sessions can combine parts of EFT, CBT, and ACT based on what seems most helpful for the person’s situation.
This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for those balancing work or caregiving. Licensed professionals provide treatment through scheduled sessions that focus on skill practice, emotion work, and tracking progress over time.
