Richard Gonzalez

Richard Gonzalez is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and big life changes. He practices in Florida and offers therapy in English and Spanish. His approach centers on listening first and building practical steps that fit each person's life.

He focuses on clear, doable tools for emotional resilience. That can mean working on worry and depression, addressing intimacy or communication problems, or finding ways to cope after loss or trauma. He also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, or the fallout from addiction and domestic violence.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and real-world strategies. He draws from approaches like acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods guide conversations about values, goals, and next steps.

Richard has experience supporting veterans, first responders, and people navigating multicultural or cross-cultural stressors. He aims to make therapy practical and understandable, so people leave with clear ideas to practice between meetings.

The work often includes identifying small, achievable changes and tracking progress over time. He frames the process as helping people move toward what matters to them, whether that is improved mood, healthier relationships, or greater confidence at work.

If you speak English or Spanish and are in Florida, Richard can be a conversational, goal-focused partner as you work through life’s challenges.
