About Raymond
Raymond (Ray) Castiglia is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, and related concerns. Ray aims to make the first step easier by offering steady, practical support in plain language.
He focuses on listening carefully and following each person’s pace. In sessions he helps people identify patterns that get in the way, and then tries out manageable changes.
Background and approach
He works with clients on sleep struggles, low self-esteem, career stress, relationship worries, and issues connected to trauma and bipolar disorder. Ray draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgmental space. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone wants to make concrete changes and set realistic goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Ray often combines short-term strategies with longer-term skills practice like sleep routines, emotion regulation techniques, and planning steps for life changes.
He explains techniques clearly so people can try them between visits. Ray communicates in English and practices across Florida. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as session formats.
Clients use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How Ray's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects back what he hears, and helps people feel heard so they can try new ways of coping. This approach is useful for building trust and for work on grief, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Ray helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. CBT includes practical exercises you can use between sessions to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ray collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means sometimes using short-term solution-focused steps, and sometimes practicing skills over weeks.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for full conversation and visual cues. Phone works when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text let people send messages when schedules are tight or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
