About Diego
Diego Gomez is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, trauma, and a wide range of life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and frames his practice around direct, practical support for everyday problems.
He uses straightforward conversation and teaching to help people understand what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on learning skills to manage strong emotions, reduce unhelpful behaviors, and handle setbacks. He blends approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance-based methods, and client-centered techniques to match what each person needs.
Diego pays attention to patterns in thinking and behavior. He helps clients notice unhelpful habits, test new ways of coping, and practise small changes between sessions. Work might include grounding exercises, behavioral experiments, values clarification, and communication practice depending on the goal.
He is comfortable addressing challenges tied to identity, addiction, grief, sleep problems, intimacy, and career pressures. He also works with issues such as obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. For young adults, that can mean navigating the pressure of first jobs, moving out, and relationship transitions.
Sessions are practical and discussion-led. Diego aims to be clear about options and next steps rather than offering vague reassurance. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to set goals and plan a path forward.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action consistent with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck in life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it uses practical exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and creating a respectful space for clients to lead the conversation, which supports processing relationship or identity concerns.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients often combine learning new skills with space to reflect on values and relationships.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing a format that relies less on video if bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
