About Helen
Helen Lopez is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns. She also sees people coping with grief, trauma, mood instability, and identity-related issues.
She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying unhelpful thinking, building clearer communication habits, and developing everyday coping skills. Helen uses familiar, evidence-based methods rather than technical jargon so people can put ideas into practice quickly.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. Over 15 years she has worked in settings where mood challenges, substance use, and trauma commonly appear. That experience informs a straightforward approach to common problems like low self-esteem and emotional reactivity.
Helen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns that maintain distress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. Attachment-based ideas inform conversations about relationship patterns and commitment worries.
People who choose her often want direct techniques and clear next steps. She offers sessions in English and Spanish. If you are trying to manage parenting stress, mend difficult communication, or handle changes in mood, Helen helps people talk through what to try next and how to practice it between sessions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and try different methods when needed. Sessions are meant to include practical homework and short skill practices so clients can see what works in their daily life.
The profile does not specify which online formats Helen offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes shorter check-ins possible during a workday, or avoids travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice and problem solving continue between visits.
