About Helen
Helen Lopez is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and identity questions.
Helen trained in psychology and clinical mental health counseling and has worked across settings with people facing mood instability, substance use, and difficult life changes. She focuses on straightforward, skills-based work that helps people notice patterns and try new ways of handling them.
In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered ideas. That means clients can expect a mix of talking through problems, spotting unhelpful thinking, and practicing skills to regulate mood or manage urges.
Helen also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed approaches when these fit a person's goals. She pays attention to how relationships, early losses, or identity stresses shape current reactions and choices.
Her bilingual ability lets Spanish speakers work in their preferred language. People looking for help with career stress, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, or recovery from trauma can bring those topics into sessions and make a plan together.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and feeling unsettled about life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then tests small changes to see if they work better. It is often used for anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and building coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying one approach and adjusting as needed rather than committing to a fixed method up front.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or busy schedules and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also lets therapists use exercise work, homework practice, and skills coaching between meetings to keep progress moving without extra travel.
