About Orlando Gonzalez

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 12 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including mental health, anxiety, anger issues and relationship issues. I have worked with couples and problems related to communication, boundaries, midlife crisis, separation and coparenting. I am experienced with child behavioral problems related to parenting, defiant teens diagnosed with: ODD, Conduct Disorder, and ADHD. I have worked with individuals who struggle with mental health conditions and have worked with parents involved with child protective services and familiar with their needs. I have conducted home studies for temporary placement of children and adoptions.

My counseling style is professional and respectful. My goal is for clients to achieve their goals in therapy through my support and guidance. As a client you can share only the information that you feel comfortable discussing. As a therapist I will only address issues that the client wants to work on. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, humanistic, and multi-systemic therapies. I am also highly knowledgeable with regulations that protect the privacy and confidentiality of your information.

I look forward to hearing from you!
