Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC

Dr. Christina Gonzalez brings a practical, people-centered approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC with twenty years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on real problems and clear steps clients can take between meetings. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, attachment-based ideas, and existential thinking to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and life transitions.

Dr. Gonzalez has worked in a wide range of settings around the world, including community mental health and substance abuse services. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth way of working. She often draws on cross-cultural experience when helping people facing immigration-related stress or complex family issues.

Clients can expect collaborative planning and straightforward goals. Conversations include problem-solving, skill building, and attention to how values and relationships matter. The work may include looking at patterns from early attachment, practicing present-moment skills, and testing new behaviors.

She also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and workplace or career stress. Dr. Gonzalez emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and partnering with each person to find workable solutions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than symptom elimination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns that began early in life and how those patterns show up now, helping people improve closeness, boundaries, and trust in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth or a quieter setup is preferable. These practical benefits help make therapy more workable alongside everyday responsibilities.
