About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and lists a wide range of concerns she helps people with, including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, intimacy issues, depression, addictions, anger, and parenting challenges.
Her background includes work in community mental health and substance abuse settings, and experience with military and veteran populations in the U.S. and overseas. That breadth shaped a practical style that blends several therapy methods. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than jargon.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to address how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships keep problems going. Mindfulness practices and existential questions are used when they fit a person's situation. Expect straightforward exercises, skills practice, and discussion about how to handle real-life triggers.
In sessions she helps people name patterns that feed anger or anxiety, try different responses, and build routines that reduce reactivity. Work may include communication practice for relationship strains, coping skills for stress and cravings, and strategies for grief or life changes. Progress is measured in concrete steps and real-world changes.
Her bilingual background and international clinical experience are part of how she understands cultural context. People looking for therapy in English or Spanish can note that international clients are not accepted at this time. To begin, the site matching process is used to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT, and attachment work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away and then choosing actions that align with values. It is useful for people frustrated by anger or avoidance who want a more value-driven life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and practice new responses when anger or anxiety flares.
Attachment-Based approaches concentrate on patterns in close relationships. This helps people who see their anger tied to fears of abandonment, trust issues, or recurring conflict with partners or family.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the practical problems they want to solve. That choice can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins that require less time, and reduce travel time for people juggling work and family. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep skills practice connected to everyday life rather than only talking about problems in a session.
