About Wilfredo
Wilfredo Guzman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with four years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. He also focuses on issues such as self-esteem, communication problems, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Guzman uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, testable steps between sessions. Motivational Interviewing informs how he helps people strengthen their reasons for change.
His training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. He also has experience working with at-risk youth, people experiencing homelessness, individuals living with HIV, and people affected by trauma and crime. That background shapes how he approaches problem solving and safety planning.
In sessions he aims to build a working relationship where the person and counselor set clear goals and track progress. Expect practical techniques to manage panic, shift negative thought patterns, and break unhelpful routines. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that tests small changes and measures what works.
Outside of work he spends time near water and meeting people in his community. He is based in Florida and conducts work in English.
How cognitive and client-centered approaches are used online
Wilfredo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT sessions usually involve setting clear goals, practicing new responses, and using short exercises between meetings to track progress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person says about their life. That method helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood while they work on practical steps. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to strengthen motivation for change through focused conversations about goals and values.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs and try options in early sessions. The plan can be adjusted based on what the person finds helpful and what produces measurable progress.
