Cristina Lopez-Mera

Cristina Lopez-Mera, LMHC, brings two decades of clinical practice to her work from Florida. She has experience with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family matters, depression, grief, anger, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Her background also includes work with personality and mood disorders, trauma and abuse, adjustment challenges, and sex therapy. She has worked with people across a wide age span, from children to older adults, and addresses multicultural and immigration-related concerns.

Cristina integrates several therapeutic frameworks, including client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches, along with existential and narrative perspectives when exploring meaning and life purpose. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice, and she is a certified yoga instructor who offers relaxation skills for clients interested in mind-body methods. Motivational interviewing is used when clients are exploring change related to addictive behaviors or lifestyle shifts.

She aims to support short-term and longer-term goals through holistic and skills-based work, attending to family of origin issues, codependency, financial stress, and other practical concerns. Cristina presents an approachable professional presence while collaborating with clients to identify steps forward and to make therapy relevant to daily life.
