About Cely
Cely Gonzalez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and substance use. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from a Florida LMHC credential.
Her style is interactive and person-focused. She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She avoids labeling people and treats concerns as things to work through together.
Cely draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That mix lets her match tools to issues like anger, mood swings, trauma, or attention challenges.
In sessions she may teach practical skills for managing strong emotions, practice ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, and help clarify personal values to guide choices. Work can include short skill-based exercises, in-session conversations, and collaboratively set goals for change.
Her past roles included individual counseling and utilization review coordination. That background contributes to a practical focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. To start, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck on feelings. It is useful for anger that comes from built-up resentment or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which is helpful for reactive anger and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when anger feels overwhelming. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss which methods seem to fit a person’s situation and goals, and then try practical tools together. Clients and the therapist can adjust methods over time based on what helps. The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online work can focus on practicing skills, reviewing homework, and having focused conversations about triggers and coping strategies.Areas of focus
