About Abdias

Abdias Gomez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain. He also addresses sleep and eating concerns, anger, addictions, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.

He approaches sessions in a direct, person-focused way. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. He uses techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. EMDR and trauma-focused tools are used when trauma is part of the picture.

Abdias has experience with first responders and with people navigating multicultural concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and can support clients who prefer either language. His work includes attention to body image, communication problems, impulsivity, and panic symptoms.

Conversations in sessions tend to include clear steps you can try between meetings. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people want short-term planning and movement toward specific goals. He also offers longer-term support when problems run deep or when grief and post-traumatic stress need more time.

People who come for help can expect straightforward feedback and practical tools alongside time to talk through difficult memories or feelings. To begin, he asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to create small experiments and practical changes for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating issues. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match current needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with conversation and CBT skills, then adding trauma-focused tools like EMDR if needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy home and work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between longer meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and brief skill practices to an online appointment so progress continues between sessions.
