About Helen
Helen Lopez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and brings practical, down-to-earth care to people facing stress and big life changes. She works with adults on worries like anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship strain.
Parenting concerns are part of her focus, and she helps parents talk through practical strategies and emotional challenges. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, identity questions, and mood instability.
Background and approach
Helen’s training includes a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and on client-centered and attachment-informed work. She uses these methods to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and build skills for daily life.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. People leave with simple tools for handling anxiety, managing strong emotions, or changing habits around substance use. Helen also helps clients sort through communication problems, self-esteem issues, and career stress.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Helen practices in Florida and works with adults in English and Spanish. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will connect a person to her services.

Approach-informed online care for parenting and life stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting decisions where values guide action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers practical exercises that help change habits like negative self-talk, worry, or avoidance behaviors.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, communication, and how early experiences affect parenting and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set clear goals and pick practices that feel manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone works when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a check-in without being on camera. Live chat or text can be useful for quick coaching, brief reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
