Ariana Guevara, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Ariana

Ariana Guevara, LMHC, helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflicts, eating concerns, and mood struggles. She offers clear, nonjudgmental support for anxiety, stress, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her tone is steady and practical to help worried parents and family members who want change.

She focuses on making space for honest conversation. Sessions are meant to let people talk through feelings and try small, concrete steps at home. Ariana encourages clients to name what matters to them and to practice skills that fit real life.

Background and approach

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience working in Florida. She combines several well-known therapy methods to match a person’s needs, including cognitive and acceptance-based tools. That mix allows her to work with issues like process addictions, dissociation, and codependency.

Ariana also addresses multicultural concerns and seasonal mood shifts like Seasonal Affective Disorder. She works with people dealing with self-harm thoughts and recovery from trauma and abuse, using strategies that prioritize safety and practical coping. In sessions she uses motivated listening and problem-focused techniques such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral tools.

The goal is steady progress through doable steps rather than quick fixes. This approach helps families and individuals navigate life changes and rebuild healthier patterns.

How Ariana’s methods work in online therapy

Ariana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for relationship strain, stress, and mood issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and many addiction-related habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and will tailor methods to fit the person and situation. The process is collaborative so clients help decide which tools to try and which to adjust over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These options let families and individuals connect from home, keep progress between sessions, and use brief check-ins when useful. The mix of methods and flexible formats aims to make therapy easier to fit into daily life while focusing on practical steps and steady change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
