About Diego

Diego Gumucio is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida. He brings five years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and addiction. Diego works in both English and Spanish to make therapy easier to access for more people.

He adapts each session to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on what the client needs right now and on steps that feel doable. Diego avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and instead listens for what matters most to each person.

His approach blends practical skills and reflective conversation. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and client-centered work to follow the client’s pace. He also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential therapy when those fit the goal.

Diego supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, identity and LGBT concerns, first responder issues, and the effects of trauma or attachment difficulties. He also helps with impulse control, substance use concerns, and the emotional toll of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

People who come to him can expect clear goals, steady feedback, and a focus on practical change. He encourages collaboration and plain language so clients know what each step is for. To begin, follow the site’s steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and habit change.

Diego treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. He will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

The practical advantages of online sessions include easier scheduling, fewer travel needs, and the ability to fit brief check-ins into a workday. Since this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact online options before booking so you know whether phone or video sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills between meetings without changing daily routines.
