About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and codependency-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She draws on several practical approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-focused ideas. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, practice new ways of responding, and make small changes that build steadier boundaries and healthier connection. Conversations are direct and focused on skills people can use between meetings.
Christina has experience across community mental health, substance use settings, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations from work both in the United States and overseas. That background informs how she talks about stress, loss, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses immigration-related issues and family-of-origin concerns.
Her style combines evidence-informed methods with straightforward reflection and practical exercises. She supports people working through intimacy concerns, people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and living around someone else’s moods or substance use. Progress is built one change at a time, with attention to what works in everyday life.

How sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions with practical strategies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties staying true to personal priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that form early and how they affect current intimacy and trust. This approach can help with people who struggle to set boundaries or who repeatedly lose themselves in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for building concrete coping skills.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what is happening day to day. Sessions may combine techniques so people leave with both insight and specific steps to try between meetings.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time from the week. Licensed professionals can adapt the selected approaches to work well in a remote setting and help clients practice skills that translate into everyday life.
