About Antonio
Antonio Vega-Pacheco is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 29 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with anger and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
He uses straightforward conversation to notice patterns of thought and behavior. Antonio listens and asks questions that help people see what keeps problems going. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Antonio also uses client-centered approaches that focus on the person's experience in the moment. That work centers on giving people space to describe what matters most and to set their own goals.
When appropriate he incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated relationship patterns and family of origin issues. This can be useful for people who want to understand how past experiences shape current reactions.
Practical, short-term work and longer exploration are both options depending on the person's goals. He has experience with trauma, domestic violence issues, attachment and control concerns, and a range of social and identity-related stresses.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Antonio combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to make online sessions practical and focused. CBT is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it suits stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Client-centered work centers on the person's experience and priorities, helping them set goals and guide the pace of therapy.He may also draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and family of origin issues when that seems useful. That perspective can help people understand why they react in certain ways and change long-standing patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adjust methods as the work progresses. The early sessions are practical and focused on figuring out what helps most.
