Ariana Guevara, LMHC

Ariana Guevara is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, eating concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at making first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses straightforward conversation to set goals and figure out what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and stronger coping habits that fit everyday life. Ariana draws on tools from acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive work, and motivational techniques to help people move forward.

In the therapy room she emphasizes listening without judgment and helping clients name their thoughts and feelings. She works collaboratively to build small, measurable steps toward change rather than overwhelming plans. This approach also addresses issues like codependency, dissociation, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise.

Ariana has nine years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, with practice in Florida. She also brings attention to multicultural concerns and seasonal affective disorder when relevant to a person’s situation. Her style is steady and practical, focused on what a person can do between sessions.

People who choose her often want clear strategies and regular feedback. She encourages questions and expects therapy to be a two-way conversation about goals and progress.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Ariana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that match a person’s values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and many mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ariana will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan so it stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain consistent work on coping skills between sessions. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, aim to make sessions usable and focused on real-world changes rather than abstract theory.
