About Luis

Luis Gonzales is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience who works with adults presenting with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He emphasizes helping motivated clients move toward greater calm, clarity, and personal growth by examining how thoughts shape feelings and choices. Drawing mainly on cognitive approaches and mindful awareness, he helps clients spot unhelpful beliefs and replace them with more constructive ways of thinking.

His background includes providing both individual and group therapy in community mental health settings, schools, and treatment facilities, which informs a flexible, practical style that adapts to each person’s needs. He also integrates emotionally focused techniques to explore relational patterns and communication, and motivational interviewing to support change.

Luis frames therapy as a collaborative process grounded in compassion and respect. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, reduce distress, and restore meaning and function in daily life.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, he practices in Florida and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Progress

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the pace to each person’s needs, helping clients feel heard while identifying goals and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and compulsive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) explores emotional responses and relational patterns to improve communication and connection when interpersonal issues contribute to distress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the kinds of strategies that feel most useful, adapting methods over time as needs change and progress becomes evident. Clients are invited to shape the work so it fits their life and values.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule regular work around busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools and support as in-person care while accommodating different comfort levels and logistical needs.
