About Luis
Luis Gonzales is a Florida LMHC with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, substance use and addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, career questions, ADHD, and bipolar concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and reflect his focus on helping people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.
His approach emphasizes clear, practical techniques. He commonly uses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, which is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people notice the thoughts that shape their choices. He also draws on client-centered methods and emotionally-focused ideas to attend to feelings and how relationships influence daily life.
In sessions he teaches the basic A-B-C model that links events, beliefs, and emotional responses. That work helps people spot unhelpful beliefs and test more useful ways of thinking. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing tools are used as ways to increase awareness and support small, steady changes.
His background includes individual and group work in community mental health agencies, school settings, and treatment facilities. That variety informs a practical style that combines skill-building with conversations about life purpose and relationships. People meet a clinician who focuses on concrete steps rather than abstract promises.
To begin, Luis asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions vary in cost by location.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when people need a space to talk through goals, doubts, and feelings about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Rational Emotive Behavior techniques, looks at the links between events, beliefs, and emotional responses. That work breaks big problems into small steps and helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Adjustments are expected as sessions reveal what helps most, and the clinician aims to match teaching, exercises, and conversation to each person's preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. People often find online sessions useful because they can fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to online work: CBT exercises and mindfulness practices transfer well to a remote setting, and motivational interviewing can be done in single focused conversations. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be arranged.
