About Helen
Helen Lopez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience practicing in Florida. She completed undergraduate studies in psychology and earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, bringing a foundation in assessment and evidence-informed interventions to her work.
Background and approach
Fluent in English and Spanish, she guides people through a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. Her approach blends practical skills and compassionate listening, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered principles.
That combination supports clients who want tools for managing mood instability, negative self-talk, substance use, identity questions, or life transitions. Sessions focus on clarifying goals, building coping strategies, and strengthening self-awareness so clients can better navigate stressors and relationships.
Helen frames therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, offering multiple formats to fit different lifestyles. She works with people seeking both short-term coaching and longer-term therapeutic support, and she emphasizes adapting methods to each person’s needs and cultural background.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and practice small, consistent actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills that are useful for mood instability and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible and accessible ways to engage in that process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let clients fit sessions into busy schedules, revisit skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals to address stress, ADHD-related struggles, grief, addiction, and other concerns.
