About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, grief, and anger.
She has practiced in multiple countries and in many settings, including community mental health, substance abuse and addictions services, and child welfare. That background informs how she talks through problems and the practical tools she offers. She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness.
Sessions focus on clear skills and real-world changes. She helps people notice patterns, test new responses, and work through difficult feelings without labels. For relationship concerns she addresses communication, commitment questions, and trust issues in everyday terms.
When trauma, abuse, or loss are involved she uses concrete strategies to manage reactions and rebuild routine. For struggles with addiction, career stress, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue she blends behavioral techniques with mindfulness and values-based work.
Her approach is interactive and practical. She aims to collaborate on goals and to teach techniques people can use between sessions. People who prefer work in Spanish can choose to meet in that language. To get started clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to let difficult thoughts occur without reacting. It helps when anger or resentment gets in the way of the life someone wants to build. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns such as reacting quickly in tense moments. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how relationship patterns and early connections shape responses; it can help with trust, intimacy, abandonment fears, and recurring conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means sessions can shift focus from skill practice to values work or to exploring relationship patterns as needed.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools learned in sessions in the settings where issues actually arise. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments to work well over distance while working with clients on real-world problems.
