About Helen
Helen Lopez is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship difficulties, and family-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with identity questions, grief, and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, practical methods in session. Helen draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She incorporates dialectical behavior skills to help with mood regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than big theoretical plans.
Many people come to Helen because patterns from their family of origin still affect adult relationships. She helps clients name those patterns, notice how they show up now, and make different choices. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to what each person needs that week.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in Sarasota. Helen has spent years working with a range of concerns from addiction and trauma to parenting and career stress.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening alongside structured tools from CBT and DBT. She also brings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas when people want to focus on values and committed action. Sessions are practical, language-accessible, and aimed at clearer thinking and improved day-to-day coping.
How Helen’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that match those values. It helps when people want to move toward what matters despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will discuss which strategies seem most likely to help and adjust the plan as needed during ongoing sessions.

Many people find that doing skills practice and worksheets between sessions helps carry progress into everyday life. Licensed professionals and therapists often use a mix of conversation and structured exercises to keep sessions focused and practical.
