About Diego
Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and relationship or family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
He uses a person-centered stance that keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to the client. Diego blends direct skills training with psychoeducation so people learn concrete tools they can use between sessions. His aim is to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce the problems that keep coming up.
His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people respond differently to thoughts and feelings. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when those approaches fit the issue. This mix is applied in simple, practical ways rather than as abstract theory.
Diego has experience supporting people with attention differences, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma reactions, grief, impulsivity, and parenting stress. He also addresses intimacy and sexual concerns, workplace frustration, and problems with jealousy or trust. He names communication and control issues as common themes he helps people untangle.
In sessions he focuses on clear dialogue and teaching skills. He encourages clients to practice techniques between visits and to track what changes. The goal is to help people feel more in control of reactions like snapping, built-up resentment, or pressures at work.
To get started he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online options. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Diego commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without acting on them, and then choose actions that fit their values. ACT is helpful for anger that comes from getting stuck in unhelpful thinking or avoiding feelings.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thought-behavior cycles and teaches practical strategies to change reactions. CBT is useful for managing snapping, rumination, or patterns that fuel resentment. When appropriate, he integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diego treats approach selection as a collaborative process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options and try methods that suit how the client likes to learn and practice new skills.
Confirm the online session options before booking through the platform's matching questionnaire since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may also be shorter or require less bandwidth, which can help sessions fit into work breaks or tight days.
