01About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez combines practical therapies with a warm, straightforward style. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC - and a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC practicing in Florida.
She speaks English and Spanish and brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people act in line with their values.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and attachment-focused work also shape how she addresses trauma, grief, and intimacy concerns. Over two decades, she has worked in community mental health, substance abuse settings, and with diverse cultural groups. That background informs how she helps people facing addiction, immigration-related challenges, caregiver stress, and career or parenting pressures.
She pays attention to cultural context and practical life demands. In sessions she keeps the work collaborative and direct. People can expect clear goals, short-term strategies, and practices to try between meetings.
She addresses issues like anger, low self-esteem, codependency, and body image with skillful conversation and concrete steps. Dr. Gonzalez also supports people processing major life changes such as divorce, loss, or transitions at work.
She helps clients build coping skills for bipolar mood swings, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and ongoing relationship patterns rooted in attachment and abandonment concerns.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for managing life changes where motivation or direction is needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for mood, anxiety, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to fit each person's goals and comfort level. Together they set priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
