About Abdias
Abdias Gomez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 19 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, and anger. He also works with people facing ADHD, grief, LGBT and multicultural concerns.
His sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing different responses. He uses clear, structured methods to make sense of difficult feelings and to test new ways of acting. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with steps you can try between meetings.
Gomez draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He adds client-centered methods to listen to what matters most to each person and Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change. For trauma that is recent or long-standing, he may use EMDR and trauma-focused tools when appropriate.
He works in English and Spanish and has experience supporting first responders and people navigating multicultural pressures. His practice pays attention to problems such as panic attacks, impulsivity, paranoia, and social anxiety. He also helps with body image, communication problems, and eating-related concerns.
Sessions emphasize practical steps - small experiments, short skill practices, and direct feedback. People can expect clear explanations of methods and simple exercises to try at home. This profile is for information; follow the booking steps to start a first session.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Abdias uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. CBT sessions break problems into small parts, test new responses, and assign brief exercises to practice between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for the client to set priorities while the therapist listens and reflects what matters most. EMDR is offered as one option for trauma-focused work when the clinician and client agree it fits the situation, using structured bilateral stimulation to process distressing memories.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that seem workable. They track how each method affects daily functioning and adjust the plan if something is not helping. This keeps the work practical and linked to real-life changes the client wants to make.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these same therapeutic tools at a distance, focusing on skills practice, problem solving, and processing material brought to sessions.
