About Diego

Diego Gomez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical practice. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career pressures, and related struggles.

He combines several evidence-informed approaches and centers conversations on feelings, patterns, and practical skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the approaches he uses to help people name and understand difficult emotions and attachment patterns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods depending on the issue.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals and concrete strategies. Diego uses psychoeducation alongside talk therapy to help people learn tools they can use between sessions. He pays attention to how emotions and thoughts influence behavior and uses that to plan next steps.

He has experience working with neurodiversity and specific concerns such as obsessive-compulsive behaviors, Tourette-related presentations, impulsivity, and disruptive mood concerns. His work addresses both immediate symptoms and longer-term coping skills so people can manage daily demands more effectively.

Diego offers services in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete an online questionnaire and schedule an initial session so he and the client can decide on an approach and plan moving forward.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Diego commonly blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered work. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment patterns so those feelings are easier to understand and work with. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and learning practical skills to act toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered methods prioritize active listening and reflecting what a person says to help them feel understood and to guide next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest which methods to try and adjust the plan over time. The first sessions are often used to agree on goals and simple practices to try between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for regular skills practice, emotional processing, and check-ins tied to everyday life.
