About Christina

Dr. Christina Gonzalez, LPC, LMHC, is licensed in Florida and has 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and ADHD. She describes her approach as interactive and blends cognitive-behavioral, attachment, mindfulness, and existential ideas in session.

Dr. Gonzalez speaks English and Spanish and has practiced in multiple countries, bringing cross-cultural perspective to her work. She has experience in community mental health, substance abuse and addictions settings, child welfare, and in military and veteran contexts. That background informs how she talks about trauma, loss, and life transitions.

In sessions she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take workable steps. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships affect current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify patterns and try out different ways of responding.

Her style is described in the original biography as interactive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She has worked with issues such as immigration-related stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and caregiver strain.

People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. The original text emphasizes collaboration and respect, and that the therapist adapts methods to fit each client's needs. To begin, follow the site process to see available online therapy options and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters and taking small, values-based steps. It helps with anxiety, depression, and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeated interaction cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and tests small experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, concerns, and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what the person finds helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these formats to carry out the same evidence-based strategies described above, adapted to the person's context and schedule.
