Ariana Guevara, LMHC

Ariana Guevara is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, eating concerns, and mood struggles like anxiety or depression. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really feel. Taking the first step toward a different life often feels hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

With nine years of experience, Ariana draws from several practical approaches to tailor work to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is employed to identify patterns that keep problems going and try small, testable changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing add tools for emotion regulation and building motivation when change feels stuck.

Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete skills. Ariana listens first, then helps set small, manageable steps toward those goals. She pays attention to cultural background and blended family dynamics when they matter to the work.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, problem-solving, and practice between meetings. Ariana also supports people dealing with process addictions like gambling, exercise, or pornography, seasonal mood changes, dissociation, codependency, and self-harm concerns. She works from Florida and communicates in English.

Starting is a simple process: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Ariana supports people through life changes and aims to help them find more steady footing and clearer next steps.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Ariana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often helps when people feel stuck by worry, shame, or avoidance and want to move toward a more meaningful life.

She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into small pieces and tests new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, or disordered eating over time.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Ariana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. That means trying things, checking what helps, and shifting course when needed.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and quicker check-ins when needed. Because exact session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the available options before booking. The aim is to make therapy manageable alongside everyday life, with clear goals, skills to practice between meetings, and ongoing discussion about what is working.
