Dr. Christina Gonzalez

Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and speaks English and Spanish. She aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and supported for people facing difficult life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and works alongside them to find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Dr. Gonzalez has worked in many settings including community mental health and substance abuse programs. Her background includes work with child welfare and with military and veteran populations in the US and overseas. That variety informs how she adapts methods to fit different life situations.

She uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed techniques, and existential ideas. Those approaches are applied to concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and grief.

Clients might also bring issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, immigration concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Dr. Gonzalez aims to tailor each plan to the person’s needs and to work collaboratively so progress is steady and realistic.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and some relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. That may mean blending ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or attachment-informed ideas so the plan fits the person's life.

Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and avoid travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce bandwidth or camera use if that helps someone stay focused. Ask about current session formats when you schedule to match practical needs and goals.
