About Helen

Helen Lopez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on what people can do differently in daily life to feel steadier.

She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented while still making room for personal history. Helen often works with people facing identity questions, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with trauma, eating concerns, bipolar mood swings, and attention-related challenges.

In sessions she helps clients recognize patterns and try small, manageable changes. Her training includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s in psychology. She practices in Florida and uses approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method.

Helen explains techniques clearly and practices them in both English and Spanish. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style tend to do well with her. She uses a mix of skills training, guided reflection, and practical homework to help clients move toward their goals.

Online support

How attachment work and skills translate online

Helen uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people understand trust, closeness, and distance in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts that drive anxiety and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as progress and challenges emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief reflections, check-ins, or practice between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work or family schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
