About Mario
Mario Gonzalez is an AASW counsellor with 22 years helping people through hard times. He focuses on relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations clear and respectful.
He listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, with practical steps and plain talk rather than jargon. He offers support for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems and the stress of caregiving.
Mario also works with people facing chronic illness or long-term pain, and those dealing with separation, divorce or family conflict. He can help people who feel empty, struggle with control or codependency, and those processing forgiveness after hurt.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process. Together the client and counsellor set goals and try approaches that fit the person’s life. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways and the plan is adjusted when needed.
Mario aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where someone can talk through difficult feelings. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and focuses on empowering people as they work towards clearer thinking and improved coping.
Approaches that guide online support
Mario uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach involves structured conversations that identify patterns in relationships and behaviour and then practise new ways of relating or communicating. This can help with relationship problems, attachment concerns and communication difficulties.Another approach focuses on working through loss and trauma by pacing the narrative and processing strong feelings in manageable steps. This helps people make sense of grief, reduce avoidance and rebuild daily routines after loss or abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan together so it fits your preferences and pace.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a counsellor who speaks English or Spanish without relocating, while keeping appointments aligned with everyday routines.
