Hector Zayas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage anger and related challenges. He draws on 11 years of clinical experience and his own long-term recovery to offer direct, steady support. Hector aims to help people regain control, reduce overwhelm, and make clearer choices about their next steps.

Hector uses practical, straightforward conversation rather than jargon. He combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, test new responses, and build habits that stick. Sessions are pragmatic and focused on what will make life easier day to day.

He has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. He also works with control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, first responder issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, men's issues, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, and process-related addictions like gambling or compulsive behaviors.

Hector’s steady style blends firmness with patience. He meets people where they are, listens, and helps set small, achievable goals. Over time those goals add up to measurable changes in mood and behavior.

Located in Florida, Hector conducts his work in English. He encourages prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to be ready to collaborate on a practical plan.

Approaches that guide online work and change

Hector often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person feels heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk things through and to clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anger, anxiety, mood shifts, and addictive patterns because it focuses on testing new responses in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hector will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be organized. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also be helpful for people who prefer working from places that are quieter or that remove the need for commuting, while still keeping the conversation focused on achievable steps.
