Hector Zayas is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to his work with adults facing behavioral health and addiction concerns. He is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (license MH20635) and holds national certifications in counseling, addiction treatment, and peer support, and he also serves as a recovery coach. As someone living in long-term recovery and a military veteran, he has particular experience supporting fellow active, reserve, discharged, and retired service members.
Hector combines a firm, tenacious practical style with compassion, empathy, patience, and a commitment to client-centered care. His therapeutic toolkit includes cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, reality, and rational-emotive approaches, along with motivational interviewing and 12-Step facilitation when appropriate. He addresses a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger management, self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.
Seeking change takes courage, and Hector aims to empower clients as they pursue recovery, healing, and greater well-being. He offers steady support throughout the process and looks forward to working with individuals ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. It can offer a practical and outcome-focused path to care for these kinds of issues.
One of the primary benefits is convenience - clients can meet with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist offering online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, remote sessions provide an accessible, adaptable way to pursue progress and support for mental health and life challenges.
