About Orlando
Orlando Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship concerns. He also supports parents navigating parenting challenges and difficult life transitions.
He uses straightforward, respectful conversations to help clients set goals and move toward them. Sessions emphasize what the client wants to address, so people share only what they are ready to discuss. He aims to guide and support rather than push specific solutions.
Orlando draws on practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify patterns and try small, testable changes. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s perspective central and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship feelings need attention. Motivational Interviewing helps when people want to find internal reasons to change.
He has experience with parenting concerns, child behavioral issues, communication problems, separation and divorce matters, and impulsivity-related challenges. He has worked with parents involved with child protective services and conducted home studies for temporary child placement and adoption.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to begin can complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Orlando works to make therapy direct, practical, and focused on the next steps a person wants to take.

How Orlando’s Approaches Work Online
Orlando commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change, focusing on their own values and goals. This approach is helpful for motivation around habits, parenting routines, and other life changes.
He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress or anxiety. CBT offers concrete exercises people can try between sessions to test what helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time based on what proves useful in sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people choose times that align with work or school routines. Ask about specific scheduling and format options when you start the matching process. -
