Diego Gomez , LMHC

Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing in Florida with more than 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist and mental health professional. He has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family dynamics, parenting challenges, trauma-related symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. He is also certified in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and has extensive training in supporting individuals with Tourette's syndrome and other tic disorders.

His approach is attentive, empathic, and person-centered, combining supportive psychotherapy with psychoeducation to help people build coping skills and insight. He practices an integrative style that draws on multiple evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person - for example blending acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and client-centered principles as appropriate. Throughout the work he emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental engagement and unconditional positive regard while encouraging self-awareness and practical steps to address distress.

Diego aims to help people expand their understanding of thoughts and feelings, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop resilience during life transitions and crises. He approaches therapy with warmth and professionalism and looks forward to collaborating with individuals seeking support.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Diego integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and build willingness to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical techniques and skills practice, which is often helpful for mood, anxiety, and coping challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration to create a supportive space for self-exploration and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diego works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time as priorities and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around daily commitments and geographic limits. These formats support continuity of work with licensed professionals and allow therapists to provide flexible, responsive support when scheduling or travel would otherwise be a barrier.
