Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC

Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions.

Dr. Gonzalez uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. Conversations tend to be warm and interactive and aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit into daily life.

Her background includes work in community mental health, substance abuse and addictions services, and child welfare, as well as clinical roles with military populations. That variety shaped a flexible approach to common problems such as grief, parenting stress, codependency, and career strain.

Dr. Gonzalez treats issues related to identity and relationships, including intimacy, communication problems, blended family concerns, and immigration-related stress. She also helps people manage anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. The therapist partners with each person to set achievable steps, check progress, and adjust techniques if needed. The aim is practical change that feels doable between appointments.

How key approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns of relating and emotional connection developed over time and can help with relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches and will adjust as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing meetings around work or caregiving schedules. It also lets people try therapeutic tools, mindfulness exercises, and behavior experiments in the settings where they live and work, so skills can be practiced between appointments.
