About Abdias
Abdias Gomez is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and parenting challenges. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas.
His style is direct and respectful. He listens first and helps people set practical goals. Sessions often focus on small steps that can change daily routines and reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
He adjusts pacing to match what each person needs. Therapy sessions draw on approaches that emphasize the client's own perspective and active skill-building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for people coping with traumatic memories. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of his toolkit to help people clarify goals and take workable steps forward. These methods are used in short-term problem solving and longer-term change efforts.
The emphasis stays on what feels useful for the person in front of him. Abdias aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful events, improve communication, and develop coping plans. He combines practical strategies with steady support so clients can make changes that fit their daily lives.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build understanding and trust. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through parenting stress or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits through short at-home exercises between meetings.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional hold. When delivered online it combines careful preparation with paced processing techniques adapted for remote work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact without travel time, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. Those options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to maintain momentum.
