About Cely
Cely Gonzalez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports people facing parenting and relationship struggles, issues with self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
Her style is warm and interactive. She talks with clients plainly and without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on practical next steps.
Background and approach
Cely values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She blends several evidence-informed approaches to shape each plan. That can include elements of existential therapy that look at meaning and values, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective.
Dialectical and acceptance-based skills may be added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are goals. With three years as a practicing LMHC, Cely has worked in individual counseling and utilization review roles. This experience exposed her to a wide range of concerns and life stages, and she uses that background to match tools to needs.
People who choose her often want practical strategies plus space to reflect on core values. Sessions aim to build skills, clarify goals, and reduce daily burdens so clients can move toward the changes they want.

Online support
How Cely’s Approaches Work Online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices to help people clarify what matters when they feel stuck or unsettled. It can be useful for those facing big transitions or questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then take actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection so people can name their priorities and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cely will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, trying different techniques and adjusting plans together as needs change. The process is conversational and practical, with a focus on small steps toward measurable goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or ongoing support without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, family, or school routines.
