About Abdias
Abdias Gomez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, and anger. He also addresses issues around sleep, eating, body image, and social anxiety, and offers counseling in English and Spanish.
Gomez uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to focus on the person's own goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. He also integrates EMDR for trauma-focused work when appropriate.
Sessions center on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. Clients can expect to talk through specific problems, try concrete tools, and review progress session by session. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of his toolkit for building motivation and finding workable solutions.
He has experience supporting first responders and people facing multicultural or prejudice-related stress. He offers help for communication problems, impulsivity, panic symptoms, and self-harm concerns alongside the core areas listed above. The emphasis is on steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
Gomez keeps language straightforward and direct in sessions. He invites people to describe what they want to change and then works alongside them to set achievable steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Abdias commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and preferences, helping people articulate goals and try small changes. CBT looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together and teaches specific techniques to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive patterns.He also brings Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into trauma-focused work when clinically appropriate. EMDR is a structured method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. He will help clients decide which approaches fit their needs and goals, and adjust plans as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative, with the client and therapist choosing practical steps together.
If you plan to meet online, please confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets or EMDR preparatory work to remote sessions, focusing on techniques that fit the client's schedule and preferences.
