About Christina

Dr. Christina Gonzalez brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques as a core part of her approach.

Background and approach

She combines structured, skills-oriented work with broader therapeutic perspectives to address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and career or life-transition challenges.

Her training also informs work with attachment and abandonment issues, communication and family-of-origin problems, body image and self-esteem struggles, and other focused areas like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Licensed as an LPC and an LMHC, Dr.

Gonzalez offers bilingual support in English and Spanish from her Florida practice. Her style blends practical interventions with mindfulness and existential reflections so clients can learn coping skills, clarify values, and rebuild relationships, while also exploring deeper patterns that shape emotions and behavior.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative stance that adapts methods to individual goals and circumstances and emphasizes respectful, culturally aware care.

CBT, ACT, and Attachment Perspectives for Online Care

Dr. Gonzalez commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy into remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change behavior and reduce symptoms, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clarification of personal values and mindful acceptance of difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action, supporting work on motivation, grief, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to improve communication, intimacy, and family-related concerns.

Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of approaches best fits their goals, preferences, and the particular issues they bring to sessions, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Dr. Gonzalez offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from varied locations while allowing scheduling that fits work, family, and other commitments. Remote formats also support ongoing skill practice between meetings and permit different modes of interaction depending on comfort and clinical needs.
