About Cely
Cely Gonzalez is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, and life changes. She works with concerns like parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD, and career worries. Cely practices in Florida and speaks English.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are built around respectful conversation and practical steps. She listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Cely blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and learn new reactions. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build action toward them.
She also brings techniques from dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused ways of looking at feelings and connection. This mix helps with emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and coping skills for intense moments. Cely has professional experience working in clinical roles and utilization review, and holds the LMHC credential (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Florida.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse, and with a wide age range of clients. Her style aims to be nonjudgmental and collaborative. She avoids labeling and focuses on what will help someone move forward.
If someone is ready to change, she offers steady support and practical tools to get started.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions, which often helps with stress, depression, and ADHD-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reminders, or people who prefer typing. These options make it possible to keep consistent progress even when life is busy or travel is involved.
