About Rene
Rene Gamboa is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of professional experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career setbacks, and coaching around life goals. Rene believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based stance to sessions.
He helps people notice what already works for them and build on those abilities to face things that feel overwhelming.
How Rene works
In the room he uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused planning. That can include working on clearer communication, managing impulses, and addressing control or workplace issues. He also helps people who struggle with mood problems and panic symptoms to find steadying routines and coping steps.
Rene aims to make therapy a practical process. Sessions often include skills practice, real-world problem solving, and planning small, achievable steps between meetings. He encourages people to test new ways of handling conflict, stress, or decisions while getting support along the way.
Clients who prefer an active, collaborative approach may find his style helpful. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approach and online therapy options
Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and goal work. One approach centers on building communication skills and conflict management to improve relationships and workplace interactions; sessions include role practice and clear feedback to make new habits easier to use. Another common focus is behavioral strategies for mood and panic symptoms that teach step-by-step coping tools, breathing and grounding practices, and brief behavior changes to reduce distress and increase steadying routines.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to find useful tools rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
