About

About Oren

Dr. Oren Hernández is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and anger among other concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

He focuses on clear, practical work rather than jargon. Sessions often look at what triggers strong reactions, how those reactions play out day to day, and which small changes reduce repeated outbursts. He uses conversational methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses in everyday situations.

Dr. Hernández draws on client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people steady their attention and calm bodily reactivity.

Over three decades he has supported people through relationship strain, career stress, chronic health challenges, and changes tied to aging. He also works with concerns linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT issues, and with people dealing with grief and loss. His practice includes work around intimacy, body image, eating concerns, and codependency.

The approach is collaborative and practical. People who come for help with anger or ongoing frustration can expect direct conversation, behavioral experiments to try between sessions, and short-term strategies for coping with intense moments. He asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. Hernández commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in his practice. Client-centered work means the therapist listens for what matters most to the person and follows their priorities in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes that reduce distress and reactive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend techniques to try and adapt over time. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape which methods are used.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid the need to travel. If you want to start, complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to learn which format will best suit your needs.
