About Edgar
Edgar Pena is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. He helps people cope with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients.
In sessions he focuses on naming feelings and noticing patterns that get in the way. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape interactions and internal experience. He also draws on client-centered work to listen without judgement and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Edgar aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. He helps people break problems into smaller steps and try specific coping strategies between sessions. Homework might include short exercises for mood, stress, or cravings.
He welcomes people who want clear, direct help with everyday challenges and longer-term patterns. Work typically involves talking through what happens in relationships and daily life, identifying emotions, and testing new ways of responding. The focus is on what is happening now and on skills that can be practiced over time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Because session billing varies by location, fees use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How Edgar integrates EFT and other approaches online
Edgar uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions that affect their relationships and daily life. EFT is useful when someone wants to understand how feelings lead to recurring patterns and wants to practice responding differently.He also uses client-centered methods to prioritize listening and making space for each person's concerns, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. CBT offers tools for anxiety, depression, and stress through short, focused tasks.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Edgar will work with clients to decide which approach or mix of approaches matches their goals and preferences. That conversation usually begins in the first few sessions and adjusts as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss with him how to structure sessions so they match your day-to-day life and therapeutic goals.
