Life can feel overwhelming at times-whether you are facing anxiety that won’t quiet down, navigating a tough life transition or carrying the weight of grief and loss. You don’t have to go through it alone.
My specialty & love are helping individuals at transition points of their lives, with a focus from Adolescence to Mid-life and beyond. These are times of dealing with many changes in one's life. These changes may include family, friends, and your role in community. This is also a time when we are surrounded with "Transition Myths" i.e.; How we should be feeling, acting and thinking. Some of these are Memory Loss, Depression, Physical Fitness, Sexuality. My goals are to educate and separate myth from fact while helping YOU ease life's transitions so YOU can continue YOUR life with new hopes, dreams, respect and dignity.

Hi! I'm Héctor López, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than ten years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, grief, and other emotional challenges. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration.
In therapy, I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted exactly as they are. Many people spend years feeling misunderstood, judged, or pressured to hide parts of themselves. I believe healing often begins when we can show up authentically and know that we will be met with compassion and respect.
If you're looking for a therapist who values empathy, authenticity, resilience, and genuine human connection, I would be honored to work with you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I look forward to the possibility of supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Gainesville starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship concerns, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of focus can make a meaningful difference. Gainesville is home to providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to couples counseling and family therapy. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Gainesville or virtual appointments, and look for a provider whose availability fits your schedule. If you're a University of Florida student or employee, check whether your plan covers mental health care through a specific network. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers on Headway — lets you ask questions and get a sense of the provider before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Gainesville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
