Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC

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 work to sessions and sees people in English and Spanish. Her style is warm and direct, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions such as midlife changes.

She uses approaches that help people notice what matters and make choices that match their values. That can look like learning practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking, building awareness of attachment patterns, and practicing mindful ways to handle strong emotions. Sessions aim to be interactive and tailored to each person's goals.

Her background includes work across community mental health, substance use and addiction settings, child welfare, and services for military and veterans. That range informs how she supports people dealing with trauma, grief, and career or parenting strains. She also has experience with immigration-related issues and caregiving stress.

People can expect a collaborative tone focused on problem-solving and resilience. Treatment blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and mindfulness practices, plus attention to connection and meaning. Dr. Gonzalez emphasizes respect and cultural awareness drawn from years living and working in multiple countries.

She encourages straightforward conversations about goals and progress, and adapts methods as needed. If someone wants help sorting difficult feelings, addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, or coping with major life shifts, she frames therapy as a step-by-step process toward clearer choices and greater balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Dr. Gonzalez uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as key ways to help people when life feels unsettled. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and midlife reevaluation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy, helping people shift patterns that cause repeated conflict or loneliness.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made over time based on how someone responds to different strategies.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care across life changes and supports practicing new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and cognitive tools to work well in remote sessions when those options are available.
