More about Orlando

  • 29 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I am a seasoned psychotherapist/family therapist with over 26 years of experience in alleviating and/or resolving a broad spectrum of psychological, behavioral, and emotional issues. Using scientifically proven treatment methods, I can help you to start improving your life today. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups and I work with people of all ages. I use a hybrid of cognitive-behavioral therapy/Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy combined with family systems therapy. I also incorporate Gestalt/experiential approaches, psychodrama approaches, client centered/Rogerian approaches and psychodynamic approaches into my therapeutic work.

I can help you to effectively address your issues and concerns. I also can help you to become more aware of your strengths and potentials and to even identify and develop new strengths and potentials and to make significant changes in your self and in your life. Knowing yourself and being at peace with yourself will help you to have a more satisfying life and more satisfying relationships. Please do not judge your future by your present. Don't give the power to your negative thoughts to convince you that they have the final and unalterable say about you, about life and about reality in general. The future is full of beautiful possibilities and by choosing to work on addressing your problems you begin to make those possibilities come true. I can help you to do that. May you find peace and joy in your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I recently had the pleasure of working with and I can confidently say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From our very first session, made me feel completely at ease, and created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings. They are incredibly attentive and empathetic, and demonstrated a deep understanding of my unique needs and concerns. Throughout our time together, provided me with a range of practical tools and techniques to help me manage my anxiety and depression, and I have seen significant improvement in my mental health as a result. Their guidance and support have been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact they have had on my life. Overall, I cannot recommend highly enough. They are a skilled and compassionate therapist who genuinely cares about their clients' wellbeing, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them. Thank you, for all that you do
