Dr. Lobo is an educated, experienced, and licensed mental health professional. He has extensive experience working with children, teenagers, and their families. He has successfully worked with some of the most challenging youth in various settings, including the foster care, academic, and juvenile justice sectors in both the public and private sector.

Dr. Lobo specializes in working with the most challenging children and teenagers around behavioral and academic issues and is proficient in assisting families in getting back on track.
Counseling is not a miracle cure or a magic wand; however, sometimes talking to an objective individual and sharing your thoughts and feelings can be highly therapeutic and liberating, and getting non-judgemental feedback and guidance can be extremely helpful in navigating life’s issues. Many times things can begin to be sorted out in a couple of sessions.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr lobo is amazing
He listens, and relates to your situation. This is my first time in therapy and he has been very supportive and helpful. Dr Lobo is for super professional and I recommend him for a therapist
Perfect psychologist for me, hears me out and gives me perfect tips, very respectful, doesn't judge
Dr. Lobo is a quality expert in his fields of practice, with a vast knowledge of a variety of topics, including music and environment, that make him an outstanding care provider for me. I’m grateful Dr. Lobo continues being such an instrumental part of my wellness and medical team.
Dr. Lobo is an amazing person and excellent therapist. I have had the pleasure to connect with Dr. Lobo, a couple of times in my life. He has helped identified possible challenges, solutions, options and most important respect my thoughts and self. I would recommend Doc to anyone who seeks for a person who understands and asses the situation from a non-bias place. A+, class act gentleman.
Dr. Lobo does a great job or listening, relating back and weaving current issues with past trauma and suggesting ways to counteract the negative aspects.
I feel like Dr. Lobo cares about my well being and mental health. I can’t say enough for how much he’s helped me in such a short amount of time.
Things in life are much easier when I talk with him, it has been 9 months of therapy. Every time I make big changes in my life I am able to be courageous because I know I can talk about whatever challenge I am going through. Challenges are more manageable when I am in therapy.
Dr Lobo is extremely attentive, empathetic, insightful, down to earth, and professional. He is by far the best therapist that I have ever worked with and my progress and wellbeing is a testament to his expertise.
Dr. Lobo is an amazing therapist. He understands, he’s patient, and he makes me feel heard, it’s like talking to a parent who’s also a licensed professional. I always seem to feel better after our sessions because of how effective they are to me. Again, great doctor I highly recommend.
He’s not judgmental and he has a lot of experience. He’s good at getting to the root of the problems and helping me explore different ways to solve problems and build my self esteem up.
Very considerate and helpful, good listener but also gives detailed answers. Very helpful.
I was very surprised with my experience with BetterHelp and Dr Lobo. Not what I expected at all. Far exceeds my expectations on helpfulness and professionalism. I was sent in depth credentials regarding Dr Lobo. It is clear that the folks at BetterHelp and Dr Lobo care about the people that come here seeking help and comfort
Love him, he is so patient and kind and really listens. I have been seeing him for almost 2 years now and I could not be happier, and couldn’t imagine not seeing him
Dr. Lobo has been of great help for me. He listens carefully, gives me time and space and always has a word of advice to make me find process in my way to find solutions to my struggles. I highly recommend him. He has also gave me tools to work my way to a better reasoning and ways to step forward and find balance in my life. Thank you dr. Lobo You have made a huge difference in my life.
I’ve seen many therapists over the years in the pursuit of finding someone who aligns with my therapy goals. I have looked for someone who can do more than just be a supportive ear. I looked for someone who pushes me, challenges me, and calls me on my crap. Someone who helps move forward and facilitates personal evolution. Doug is great for all of those things. He also has a book recommendation for everything. That may sound daunting, but it really makes all the different throughout the week in between sessions.
Dr. Lobo has been wonderful during my entire experience with Better Help. He and I cover a wide range of topics for discussion and while he is not part of the lgbtq+ community, he actively engages in helpful conversation and support with lgbtq+ related issues. I am very happy we were paired up together and I am excited to keep working with him in the future.
He’s great and very kind. Responds quickly. Never makes you feel bad. Very positive!
Nothing that I could say would actually show the great work that he is doing, he is able to be neutral yet vey compassionate. And what I like the most about his is that he sends a message after each session that covers all what was spoken about and great resources that could help, every resource that he shared was on the spot
Supportive and a realist
Dr. Lobo is the guy! He is very understanding and gives a lot of great points that I can pivot on to continue to better myself on this journey.
Dr. Lobo is an excellent listener. Since starting therapy with him I’ve had so much breakthrough, and I’m just so proud of how far I’ve come. I really feel like our sessions allow me to process my trauma and also give me tools to move forward. Very thankful to have met Dr. Lobo.
Dr.lobo has been my biggest support in my my life transition. He is always calm and able to calm my nerves I enjoyed every session with him

Dr. Lobo is easy to talk with and is very helpful.
Dr Lobo is patient and w great listener, and offers a great support in hearing me out and providing a much needed perspective in helping to understand my issues in a balanced way.
Dr. Lobo is an amazing therapist and always helped me address my concerns in an intentional and deliberate way. I would recommend him to anyone.
This is my first time doing this type of therapy. I didn’t know what to expect and I was quite apprehensive and anxious. Especially right before I had my first live-session with Dr. Lobo. From the first five minutes speaking with him I knew he was a great match. He is very personable, the conversation was flawless. It was as if I was speaking with someone I’ve known for a while. After some time I relaxed and became comfortable speaking more openly with him and receiving therapy. He is very knowledgeable, I really like that he has given me advice, exercises, worksheets to do and recommends books for me to read. He has helped open my eyes to my trauma and how to go about working through it. I am confident that Dr. Lobo can assist me with the therapy that I am in need of to live a better more anxiety free life. I look forward to future sessions with his expertise.
Extremely knowledgable of my issues and the various ways of help available to me. Always listens and very calm
Dr.Lobo is a supportive, caring individual and I always feel listened to and respected.
Dr. Lobo is very resourceful. He has a wide range of knowledge in self-development and recovery. He is encouraging and educational in his approach. I highly recommend him if you're a university student who wants to get better at managing education-related stress
He's very great and he listens and gives great input
Dr. Lobo is extremely kind and wise, he taught me a lot about how I can help my issues I’m having and opened my eyes up to more possibilities. He really changed the way I communicate with others and helped me with my anxiety and he always answers or responds super fast. He is the most genuine therapist I ever had and he’s so respectful and relatable. He’s helped me with a lot more and I genuinely think he’s the best on BetterHelp.
Kind courteous and helpful. Quick to respond and always on point
It might not always be what you think you want to hear but it is amazing advise. He knows when to call you out for doing something offside.
Dr. Lobo is a brilliant counselor who was able to help me not only identify my problems, but overcome them and come out better than ever. I am insanely grateful for is help as, with him, I would still be in the darkest of depths.
Dr. Lobo is the best person to have as a counselor. He is the nicest person I’ve met and listened to my troubles. He will get you through on whatever your dealing with without any judgment. And gives good advice:)
Dr. Lobo is a no bullshit kind of guy and provides clarity when things often seem vague. He's helpful, understanding and provides practical solutions to how you can be a happier and better person. Sometimes when you're in a bad place, you need someone to snap you out of it and help you see the bigger picture, help you understand where these emotions are coming from and how to tackle them. Dr. Lobo has done all of this and I couldn't recommend him enough.
Dr Lobo has been a perfect fit for what I've needed. He's guided me and helped me to make my own decisions. He's never push or steered my decisions. He's always helped me by encouraging me to try my institution to know what's right, unless it comes to getting cats, apparently that was a bad cut decision :). Dr Lobo has be wonderful. If I didn't have to leave I wouldn't. He's been the best counselor I've ever found and I worry when I'm able to take the time to focus again. I will never get so lucky to find another like him. Thank you for all your support, kind words and most importantly your style of counseling helping me believe in me.
Dr. Lobo is very warm, welcoming and easy to talk to. He has a great sense of humour and makes you feel at ease right away!
Really interesting and helpful person to talk to!
