About Luis
LMHC in Florida with 7 years of experience, Luis Gonzales helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He offers counseling in English and Spanish. Luis works with individuals across a range of emotional and behavioral issues and draws on several practical therapy methods.
Luis focuses on clear, direct work with thoughts and behavior. He often uses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to show how thoughts shape feelings and choices. Sessions emphasize identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing more balanced ways of thinking.
He also uses client-centered techniques to listen to each person's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how emotions show up in relationships. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are part of his toolkit for managing stress, addiction, and motivation to change.
His background includes individual and group therapy in community mental health agencies, schools, and treatment facilities. That experience informs how he structures sessions and sets goals with people who bring diverse challenges.
Luis describes therapy as a collaborative process. He works with people to name specific problems, try practical strategies, and track what changes. The emphasis is on concrete steps you can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How Luis applies common approaches to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting the client's concerns so sessions focus on what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort thoughts about stress, career choices, or relationship reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this looks like identifying specific unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions drive interaction patterns and can help when relationship-related emotions or attachment issues are central.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try techniques in early sessions, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that fit the person's needs and preferences rather than relying on a single method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week and to continue work when travel or scheduling is a challenge. Some formats are less demanding on bandwidth or allow for a shorter check-in when time is limited. Ask about the specific session options offered so you can choose a setup that matches your schedule and comfort.
