About Helen

Helen Lopez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of practice. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and mood concerns. Her style is direct and practical, and she aims to make sessions easy to follow for worried parents and busy adults.

Before becoming an LMHC she completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Central Florida and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Argosy University in Sarasota.

Background and approach

That training led to a mix of talk therapy and hands-on skills work she uses in sessions. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based ideas. She uses those methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, manage intense emotions, and build small, doable habits that feel sustainable.

Typical work in sessions includes practicing coping skills, noticing patterns that lead to conflict or relapse, and setting clear goals. She also addresses parenting stress, identity questions, grief, and relationship tension while supporting people through life transitions. Helen keeps language simple and sessions focused.

She uses a collaborative tone and helps people try practical tools between meetings. Many clients find that concrete strategies and steady follow-up help them feel more in control over time.

How Helen’s approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes chosen values and small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to change patterns of mood and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills so people can handle intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and habits, then try techniques together to see what fits. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays practical and relevant to the person’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick support, homework check-ins, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into school, work, and hectic family schedules while keeping consistent progress.
