About Diego

Diego Gumucio is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida. He brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on practical, person-centered care. He speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who face stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and related life challenges.

Diego adapts each session to what the person needs in the moment. He avoids one-size-fits-all plans and focuses on clear, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions are intended to help people cope with change, reduce overwhelm, and build day-to-day skills that fit their life. His approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to address mood, behavior patterns, and the thoughts that get in the way of feeling better.

He also brings DBT and existential perspectives when issues involve strong emotions or questions about meaning. Diego has worked with people dealing with trauma, family and relationship strains, ADHD, grief, immigration-related stress, and substance concerns. He pays attention to communication patterns, attachment issues, and the practical problems that affect family life.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful for everyday challenges. He offers multiple online formats and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Diego structures work collaboratively to meet each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then move toward values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions.

Diego approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. He listens to a client’s goals and preferences and then suggests approaches that fit the situation. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats let clients access care from home or while traveling, follow up between sessions through messaging, and choose the way of communicating that feels easiest. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, goal-focused support across a range of concerns.

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.
