About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, grief, addiction, and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Her background includes work in varied clinical settings and international experience across several countries. That experience informs a practical style that blends cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based perspectives, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can take to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.
Dr. Gonzalez often helps people who notice recurring patterns from childhood, such as attachment struggles, communication problems, or roles that shaped how they relate now. She also addresses concerns linked to parenting, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and immigration-related stress when relevant to an individual's story.
Her approach mixes talking through difficult feelings with exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients can expect discussions about values, present-moment awareness, and practical skills to handle cravings, low mood, or overwhelm. Sessions also look at relationship habits and how early family experiences influence current choices.
She uses her bilingual skills when helpful and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small, practical steps that align with those values. It is often used to address anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions by teaching acceptance and valued action.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand recurring roles, improve communication, and build more secure ways of relating to others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions by teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings or impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right method is part of care. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize values work, attachment exploration, skill-building, or a mix of methods.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking; the profile does not list specific formats. Ask about the available ways to meet when completing the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekly routines, shorten check-ins when time is limited, allow work without commuting, and let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth or camera use is a concern.
