About Abdias

Abdias Gomez is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. He also supports concerns such as ADHD, addictions, parenting struggles, sleep and eating problems, anger, and issues related to LGBT identity and family life. He speaks both English and Spanish and brings practical support to everyday problems.

He keeps sessions straightforward and centered on the person in front of him. Conversations are aimed at clarifying what matters most and finding small, useful steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

He combines listening with methods that teach skills and change unhelpful patterns. With 19 years of clinical experience, Abdias has worked across a range of problems and cultural perspectives. He uses approaches that are shown to help with trauma, mood, and anxiety.

That experience informs how he adapts interventions to each person's situation. Therapy draws on proven techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods to shift thinking and behavior, EMDR for trauma processing, and client-centered work to make space for the client's voice. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools also appear when someone needs to find immediate, achievable changes.

Sessions are offered while based in Texas and use formats that fit modern life. The aim is to make therapy practical, understandable, and relevant to daily demands.

Approaches for online healing and change

Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience first and creates space for them to guide the work; it helps when someone needs to be heard and to build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, trauma processing, or short-term problem solving so the plan fits the person's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue care when travel or schedules change. Working remotely still allows for clear goals, practical homework, and ongoing review of progress with a licensed professional.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
