About Diego
Diego Gumucio is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Florida. He brings five years of clinical experience helping people address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns. Diego offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
He adapts each session to the person in front of him. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client needs in the moment.
Background and approach
Diego avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and builds a plan that fits each person's situation and goals. In sessions he uses practical tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That work can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and clarifying values to guide choices.
He also draws on client-centered and dialectical ideas to keep the work collaborative and grounded. Diego has supported people facing trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, and substance use concerns. He also helps with adoption and foster care questions, attachment or family-of-origin issues, and first responder stress.
His practice pays attention to immigration-related struggles and the emotional effects of disasters. People looking to start will find a straightforward process to connect and schedule a session. Diego aims to create a calm, direct space where practical steps and personal meaning can be worked on together.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people connect with their values and take small actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, with clear steps to change behaviors and improve sleep, mood, or coping. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and pacing, giving people room to describe what matters while the therapist reflects and supports their own problem-solving.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made, sharing decisions about techniques and focus areas.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily life and practical needs. Video sessions let you read facial cues and use worksheets together, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while working with a licensed professional.
