Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Christina

Dr. Christina Gonzalez uses a practical, skills-based approach rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She keeps sessions direct and compassionate, helping people name what matters and try small changes.

Dr. Gonzalez is bilingual in English and Spanish and works from her Florida licensure as an LPC and LMHC. She brings 20 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, relationships, parenting, and related concerns.

Her background includes work across several countries and many care settings.

Background and approach

That experience shaped how she listens for cultural values, family patterns, and practical obstacles. She has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and addiction. In sessions she mixes grounded strategies with mindfulness and values-driven planning.

That may mean learning skills to manage strong emotions, practicing new ways to talk about needs, or testing out different actions between meetings. The goal is to build steady habits that match what a person wants long term. Dr.

Gonzalez also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns and how early connections affect current challenges. She addresses specific concerns such as parenting, blended family issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress with concrete steps and clear goals. Her style is warm and interactive.

She aims to work collaboratively and tailor the pace to each person. If someone wants straightforward tools and thoughtful reflection, she offers a practical path forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take small committed actions even when emotions are difficult. Online ACT sessions often focus on short exercises, values work, and practical steps you can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits with concrete skill practice and short behavioral experiments. In virtual sessions CBT often uses worksheets, brief exercises, and guided practice to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what works for each person. That makes therapy feel practical and tailored rather than fixed or one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people continue work between appointments with written check-ins or short chats. For parents or busy adults, the variety of formats can help fit therapy into a crowded week while keeping progress steady.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
