Roberto Diaz, LMHC, LPC

Roberto Diaz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 27 years of practice to his work. He focuses on many concerns people ask about, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, addiction, grief, and LGBT concerns. He also helps with body image, chronic illness stress, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and career or life transitions.

Roberto keeps a warm, interactive style in sessions. He treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids labels. He listens first to understand what matters to each person. Then he helps set practical goals and steps to move forward.

He uses a mix of approaches to match the person in the room. That can include client-centered conversations that follow the person's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally-focused work to address attachment and closeness. He also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful.

Roberto often suggests simple resources between sessions, like books, worksheets, or short practice exercises. He tailors those recommendations to the issue at hand and to what each person can realistically try.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are based in Florida. He does not take international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, reflecting feelings, and building trust so people can talk through what matters most. It helps with stress, relationship concerns, and figuring out next steps in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include simple exercises and home practice to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some intimacy-related issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with emotions tied to connection and attachment. It is useful when relationship patterns or closeness feel stuck or painful.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. That collaborative way makes it easier to pick techniques that feel useful and realistic.

Confirm the available session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to use worksheets or practice exercises between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work over distance while focusing on the person's daily life and goals.
