About Diego
Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of experience. He speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or family concerns. He uses a straightforward, person-centered style in sessions.
He listens first, then helps people learn skills and try new ways to handle hard moments. He combines practical strategies with gentle guidance so people can notice what works for them.
Background and approach
Diego draws from several approaches to match each person's needs. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking. He brings in mindfulness and acceptance-based tools to reduce reactivity and increase focus on valued goals.
He also incorporates emotion-focused and dialectical strategies to help people manage intense feelings and improve communication. Those methods are useful for trauma, relationship issues, and mood concerns. Sessions may include coaching-style work for career or life-purpose questions.
Diego has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, OCD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and try manageable changes between sessions.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and naming feelings to improve emotional connection and process grief or relationship distress.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Diego will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily routines. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time, so sessions reflect what actually helps the individual make progress.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into busy schedules. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when writing helps someone reflect. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling and to keep therapy consistent with a person’s life.
