About Christina

Dr. Christina Gonzalez brings a practice grounded in evidence-based therapies and two decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She is an LPC and LMHC who blends acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-informed perspectives to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and ADHD. Her bilingual ability in English and Spanish supports clear communication for diverse clients in Florida.

Her background includes extensive work across community mental health, substance use and addiction settings, and programs addressing grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Dr.

Gonzalez frames therapy as collaborative and practical, tailoring interventions to each person’s values and goals while drawing on mindfulness and existential ideas when clients are exploring meaning, identity, or life transitions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a non-stigmatizing approach in helping people develop coping skills and strengthen relational connections.

Clients can expect a warm, interactive style that adapts techniques to individual needs. Dr.

Gonzalez supports those navigating complex family issues, intimacy concerns, bipolar mood management, immigration-related problems, and other life changes, with an emphasis on building resilience and working toward clearer, achievable goals.

How Dr. Gonzalez Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; online ACT can support work on stress, anxiety, and life transitions by teaching skills to notice thoughts and commit to valued behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns; delivered digitally, CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and many everyday coping challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns and trust issues that influence intimacy and family dynamics, which can be explored through conversations and exercises that improve communication and emotional regulation.

Determining the best fit is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then recommend or blend approaches accordingly so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to change or strengthen.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around work and family commitments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for processing sensitive topics or practicing new skills with a licensed professional.
