Dr. Christina Gonzalez

Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 20 years of clinical experience and speaks English and Spanish. She aims to make reaching out simple and direct for people facing anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges.

Her work blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, interactive style. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills you can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and on mindfulness to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Dr. Gonzalez also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address relational patterns that shape anger and intimacy. She tailors techniques to the person in front of her rather than following a single scripted method.

Her background includes community mental health, substance use and addiction work, child welfare, and international experience in Mexico, Germany, and Japan. She has worked with military populations on force preservation and suicide prevention and has supported people through grief, immigration stress, and family conflict.

Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. She aims to help people build resilience and practical coping skills. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to start with the site's matching process so scheduling can reflect current availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values instead of getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anger, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative process often starts by combining methods and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments between meetings, so therapy skills can be practiced in everyday life.
