About Ariana

Ariana Guevara is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with addictions, relationship and family stress, eating concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with codependency, blended family issues, dissociation, process addictions, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens and reflects without judgment. She encourages small, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Her approach draws on several well-known therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress.

Ariana also uses Client-Centered methods to keep the pace set by the person in the room, and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change when habits or addictions are present. She will work with each person to pick which methods fit their goals.

She practices in Florida and holds the credential LMHC. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone keeps sacrificing their needs for others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating hard moments without making things worse.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Ariana will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That planning can change as progress is tracked and new needs emerge.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people make steady, practical changes in daily routines and relationships.
