About Christina
Dr. Christina Gonzalez offers an attachment-based approach blended with practical therapies to help people who feel stuck by stress, relationships, grief, or trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with two decades of clinical experience.
Dr. Gonzalez speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida. She combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on how past connections shape present choices.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients identify patterns in relationships, manage anxiety, and cope with life changes. The work often includes learning new ways to argue, repair connection, or set boundaries when needed. Her background includes long-term work in community mental health and substance abuse settings, and experience with immigration-related concerns and grief.
This range informs a flexible style that draws on mindfulness and existential ideas when people need meaning-focused work or skills for daily life. Dr. Gonzalez approaches therapy in a warm, interactive way.
She aims to treat people with respect and without stigmatizing labels. Sessions emphasize collaboration - deciding goals together and tracking progress through simple, practical steps. People who turn to her commonly bring worries about depression, addictions, parenting stress, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or compassion fatigue.
She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, body image, codependency, and forgiveness work.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks closely at how early connections shape current relationships and emotions; online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors through simple exercises and homework that can be done between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Many people try a blend of techniques until they find what helps them most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and role-play exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent check-ins, brief coping reminders, and ongoing reflection between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping a steady course of care.
