About Diego
Diego Gumucio is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Florida. He brings five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. He speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Diego shapes each session around the person in front of him. He does not use the same plan for everyone. Instead he asks about current needs and adjusts his approach to match what matters in the moment.
Background and approach
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. He also uses client-centered and dialectical tools to help people notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and try new behaviors. Common issues he helps with include trauma and abuse, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, parenting strain, grief, and relationship and family concerns.
He also focuses on adoption and foster care, attachment issues, first responder stress, and immigration-related struggles. Sessions can include work on communication, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and rebuilding self-esteem. Diego aims to help people develop clearer values, better coping skills, and more usable options for day-to-day life.
He invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine. The goal is steady, practical change through a collaborative working relationship.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem and motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diego treats the decision as collaborative and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from several approaches so therapy matches what a person needs right now.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that use facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick coping skills, check-ins between sessions, and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
