Diego Gomez, LMHC

Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of experience. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and life transitions. He also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles.

Diego uses practical, talk-based work that aims to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. He also includes acceptance-based ideas and client-centered listening to match what a person needs in the moment.

Sessions often include clear explanations, skill practice, and real-world steps to try between meetings. Diego prefers a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is tracked in simple ways. He keeps language plain and focuses on what someone can do this week to feel steadier.

His background includes a decade of clinical practice in community and outpatient settings in Florida. The LMHC credential indicates clinical licensure for mental health counseling in Florida. Diego is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns, from mood disorders to trauma-related symptoms and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

People who choose him can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and try new responses. He emphasizes building coping tools, improving communication, and helping clients take manageable steps toward their goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Diego commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce worry, low mood, and obsessive thinking. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and helps people commit to actions that match their values.

He also practices client-centered listening to create a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. That means the therapist and client work together to choose which approach or combination of approaches fits best. Figuring out the right method is a collaborative process based on a person's goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for skills practice and longer discussions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, tracking progress, or trying brief coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
