About Christina
Dr. Gonzalez uses practical approaches to help people find clearer choices and steady routines. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, existential questions, and mindfulness so therapy fits the person in front of her. Her work has included community mental health, substance abuse, child welfare, and service with military populations.
She has worked in several countries and brings that cultural perspective into the room. That background informs how she frames immigration concerns, grief, trauma, and caregiving strain. Her style focuses on respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels.
In sessions she helps people name patterns, make values-based decisions, and practice small changes that add up. She addresses issues like intimacy, addiction, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue using tools tailored to each person’s goals.
Dr. Gonzalez invites clients to collaborate on treatment plans and to test what works in daily life. Getting practical, manageable steps is part of her approach so people can see progress between appointments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck by teaching practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while still moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how close relationships and early patterns shape present behavior and helps people build safer, more reliable ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means tests and adjustments over the first weeks so sessions feel useful and targeted.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits work and family routines. Many people find that working this way helps maintain momentum between sessions while still focusing on concrete steps and practice.
