About Diego

Diego Gumucio is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience in Florida. He works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and issues related to addiction and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and he accepts international clients.

Diego’s style is practical and person-focused. He adjusts each session to what is happening in the moment and addresses the specific problem a person brings. He does not use a one-size-fits-all method; instead he matches tools to current needs and goals.

He draws from several established approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix allows him to combine skill-building, values work, and moment-to-moment awareness. He guides people through concrete steps rather than abstract theory.

Typical work includes managing anger, reducing impulsivity, repairing communication problems, and coping with grief or life changes. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, first responder stresses, immigration-related challenges, and family of origin problems.

Diego explains options in simple terms and helps people decide what to try first. He asks practical questions about daily routines, relationships, and patterns that keep problems going. If you want clear tools and a straightforward approach to handling anger or other struggles, he offers focused sessions to address those goals.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Diego uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, practical steps toward them. ACT encourages noticing uncomfortable thoughts while committing to behaviors that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build skills that change reactions and behavior. CBT work often includes homework and short, structured exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss what you want to address and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques as you learn which ones help with anger, impulsivity, or stress in daily life.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency so therapeutic work continues even when life is busy.
