About Luis
Luis Gonzales is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and help with career or life changes. Luis offers counseling in English and Spanish for those who want practical ways to manage strong emotions and get unstuck.
He often uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, describing REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) as a core influence. That means sessions focus on identifying thoughts that lead to upsetting feelings and testing whether those thoughts are helpful. He teaches how beliefs shape responses so clients can make different choices in daily life.
Sessions also draw on Client-Centered principles, which prioritize the person’s goals and perspective, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas about understanding and shifting emotional responses. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are used to build present-moment awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Luis blends these approaches to address mood, addiction, and relationship patterns.
His background includes work in community mental health agencies, schools, and treatment facilities, with experience in individual and group settings. That variety informs how he adapts conversations to practical problems like work stress, grief, isolation, or managing symptoms of ADHD and bipolar mood challenges.

How his approaches translate to online work
Luis typically uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods such as REBT to help people identify the thoughts that maintain anxiety and phobia-related avoidance. CBT involves tracking situations, the thoughts that come up, and testing new responses through structured practice and homework assignments.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which center the person’s goals and perspective, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help name and work with strong feelings. Mindfulness practices may be added to help notice patterns without getting overwhelmed. These methods suit problems like anxiety, addiction, mood disturbances, and problems with communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of early work together. Luis will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps most.
