Giovanni Castillo-Gomez, LPC

Giovanni Castillo-Gomez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He works with individuals confronting stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression, and provides support for LGBTQ+ related concerns, low self-esteem, motivation, and confidence building. Giovanni centers his work on the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that they bring strengths that can be used to address life’s challenges.

In sessions he focuses on identifying practical ways to manage symptoms and strengthen coping skills while honoring the client’s perspective and goals. He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients explore options and build on existing resources rather than imposing answers. Giovanni acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and expresses pride in clients who take that first step toward change.

As an LPC licensed in Texas (TX LPC 87700), he brings formal training and a commitment to using evidence-informed methods to support recovery and personal growth. He offers therapy in English and aims to create an environment where clients can work toward clearer motivation, improved self-esteem, and greater emotional balance.

Evidence-Informed Care and Online Therapy Options

Giovanni uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These approaches aim to help clients identify patterns that contribute to stress or low mood and develop coping skills to manage anxiety, cravings, or depressive symptoms.

He also works from a strength-based perspective that highlights the client’s existing resources and resilience. This collaborative stance centers the client’s expertise about their life and combines that knowledge with professional guidance to set achievable goals and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Giovanni partners with clients to explore what feels most helpful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and makes it easier to access care from home or work. These options allow clients to engage in consistent treatment, experiment with different formats, and maintain momentum in their work toward improved well-being.
