About Cely

Cely Gonzalez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with common early adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and career pressures, and ADHD. She also lists experience with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting-related stress, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style is described as interactive and person-focused. Sessions use practical conversation and goal-oriented tools. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, client-centered work, and emotion-focused strategies to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Cely has worked across a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, substance concerns, and family of origin problems. She has experience supporting people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma. Her work includes helping people manage life transitions and relationship conflicts.

In session she tends to combine techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other approaches to match a client's needs. That can mean learning specific skills, practicing different thoughts and behaviors, and talking through difficult experiences. The emphasis is on concrete steps and regular check-ins.

She offers services in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How therapeutic approaches map to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and problems like feeling stuck after major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to school or work.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills. It can be useful when intense emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check in together to see what is working and what to change.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are in Florida, while the therapist and client collaborate on which methods will be most useful.
