Ariana Guevara , LMHC

Ariana Guevara is a Florida-licensed LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 9 years of professional experience supporting people through addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and eating-related concerns. She prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can safely explore difficult thoughts and emotions, and she encourages the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Ariana works collaboratively with each person to build practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses blended family dynamics, codependency, dissociation, process addictions such as pornography, exercise, or gambling, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm concerns. Her approach combines empathy with structured, evidence-informed techniques aimed at identifying clear goals and supporting meaningful change while respecting each client’s background and individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ariana Guevara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and develop actions that align with their values, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent method she applies, focusing on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building new skills to manage stress, mood, and behavioral concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be incorporated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are a central focus, offering structured skills for managing intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ariana works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions rather than applying a single model to every situation.

Online therapy with Ariana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. Working remotely allows licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while fitting care into clients’ everyday lives.
