About Hector
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience, Hector Zayas focuses on addiction and behavioral health concerns as well as mood and stress-related issues. He works with people facing substance and process addictions, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and challenges with relationships or life transitions. Sessions are guided by straightforward, practical methods drawn from the approaches he uses.
Hector describes his style as pragmatic and persistent. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative working relationship. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when people are weighing change, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals.
He brings both professional experience and a long personal recovery history to his practice. That background informs his work with people who have drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions such as problematic gambling, exercise, or pornography use. He also notes experience with first responder issues and with Veterans and Armed Forces issues.
In sessions he talks through concrete steps, coping strategies, and decision points. He addresses control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and men’s issues in direct terms. Hector frames recovery and behavior change as a sequence of practical choices rather than abstract concepts.
People considering work with him can expect focused conversations on immediate problems and on measurable next steps. He asks about goals, offers evidence-based techniques, and tracks progress over time. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How Hector applies his approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship and on listening. In practice that means sessions start with the client’s concerns and the therapist reflects back to ensure understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related behaviors.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Hector will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try, adjust them as needed, and track progress across sessions.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can help fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical advantages make it easier to follow through on regular meetings and on homework between sessions.
