My name is Maylin Gonzalez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients, and different disorders along the years. I realize there is not a “one size fits all” therapy manual, and it must be individualized to your specific needs. I want you all to feel heard and understood throughout our sessions, and that you learn to find strength within yourself to achieve your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, the focus will be on building rapport, and talk a little more in depth regarding your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is being able to listen, understanding your individual needs and focusing in ways to achieve your goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary treatment approach due to its constructive session structure and the applicability to multiple disorders. CBT is goal-oriented, addresses immediate issues, and incorporates a variety of skills applicable in diverse situations. Additionally, its evidence-based techniques add another layer of effectiveness to the therapeutic process.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Depending on the needs of the clients, SFT can be highly effective because it focuses on building problem solving skills. I try to use it in my practice frequently as it can be efficient and effective for clients looking to learn how to focus their strengths and resources in a way that can give them some control over their symptoms.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT which has been useful for clients who have experienced trauma in the past. It has narrative therapy techniques and psychoeducation emphasis that has proven to be effective with a lot of clients.
Strength-Based
I enjoy using strength-based interventions because it offers a positive and empowering perspective that can lead to personal growth, improved well-being, and a more optimistic outlook on life.
