About Diego

Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, mood shifts, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Diego uses a person-centered style that emphasizes listening and respect. Sessions start with your concerns and goals. He mixes clear explanations with practical skills so you can try new choices between meetings.

His approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotion-focused work. That means sessions can involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and learning to tolerate hard feelings while moving toward values that matter to you.

Diego has worked with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, attention differences, parenting stress, grief, relationship concerns, addiction-related struggles, and challenges with impulse control. He aims to help people build self-awareness and steady coping skills so challenges feel more manageable.

In therapy he focuses on clear communication and practical steps. He encourages small experiments, skill rehearsal, and regular check-ins about progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors that change symptoms and daily routines; it often helps with insomnia, mood, and anxious thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing emotion patterns and improving how people respond to strong feelings, which can ease relationship strain and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different tools until you find what fits. Expect ongoing conversations about which exercises, skill practices, or perspectives are helping and which need adjustment.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer options for people who prefer not to use video every time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques to work over distance while keeping the focus practical and goal-oriented.
