Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC

Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. She brings 20 years of clinical experience to the work and speaks both English and Spanish. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and related life challenges.

Her style is warm and interactive. She uses clear, practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and take small action steps. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to address how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections, and on mindfulness and existential approaches to help people find meaning and cope with life changes.

Dr. Gonzalez has practiced in many settings, including community mental health, substance-abuse work, child welfare, and support for service members and veterans. That background informs how she supports people facing grief, immigration-related stress, caregiver strain, or compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns like codependency, body image, and communication problems.

In sessions she aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person seeking help, and treatment is shaped around practical goals. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors strategies to each person’s needs.

If someone is ready to make a change, she supports them in taking concrete steps and building durable coping skills. Her bilingual skills allow her to serve English- and Spanish-speaking clients in Florida and nearby communities.

Using evidence-informed approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-driven action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when old patterns prevent progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns developed in early life and how they show up now. This work can help with intimacy difficulties, communication problems, and healing from abandonment or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Gonzalez will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit each person’s needs. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Confirm current remote session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-in visits, and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions in the language a person prefers, including English or Spanish. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in virtual sessions, and Dr. Gonzalez will tailor homework and tools so they fit everyday life.
