About Raymond

Raymond (Ray) Castiglia is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 20 years of clinical experience helping adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, and trauma. He also supports people working through intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem and career concerns, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Ray emphasizes a compassionate, person-focused stance that centers the individual's experience and strengths. His style blends evidence-based methods with a warm, nonjudgmental presence to help clients identify practical steps toward change.

Ray describes therapy as a collaborative process that honors where someone is starting while offering tools for coping with life changes and building resilience. He draws on his long training and clinical practice to tailor strategies to each client instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Clients can expect an emphasis on skill-building, respectful listening, and goal-oriented work designed to increase insight and everyday functioning. Ray aims to help people develop sustainable strategies for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and improved daily routines while supporting personal growth over time.

Evidence-Based Therapies Adapted for Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and meeting each person where they are, helping individuals explore values and strengths while building trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns; it often includes practical exercises and skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with clients to select and adapt methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That process may combine elements from different approaches and will be adjusted as progress is made.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These formats make it possible to continue consistent care from home or while traveling, support ongoing skill practice between meetings, and allow clients to choose the mode of contact that best suits their daily life.
