About Edgar

LMHC in Florida with 10 years of experience, Edgar Pena helps people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Edgar uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in his practice.

Edgar focuses on clear, direct conversations. He listens to what matters to each person and works with them to set practical goals. Sessions tend to include talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that cause distress, and testing small changes between meetings.

He uses CBT to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered Therapy is used to follow the client’s concerns and pace. EFT techniques are applied when relationship patterns and emotional bonds need attention.

Edgar aims to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning by breaking issues into manageable steps. He helps people develop coping tools they can use outside sessions. Progress is tracked by the client’s goals and by checking how new strategies work in real life.

To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking. The therapist asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client and following their priorities. Online sessions that use this approach center on the client’s concerns, pacing, and what they want to work on next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) during remote sessions looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. The therapist and client identify patterns together, try small experiments between sessions, and review results in the next meeting.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) applied online focuses on emotional experiences and relationship patterns. Sessions may include identifying repeating interaction cycles and practicing new responses to shift those patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Edgar will discuss how each method might fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as the work proceeds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available appointment types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people try different approaches while keeping therapy manageable.
