About Raymond
LMHC in Florida with 20 years of experience, Raymond (Ray) Castiglia works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Ray uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered principles to listen and follow the person's priorities. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels difficult, and solution-focused methods carve out small, achievable steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Ray and the person set short-term goals and check progress each visit. Expect concrete exercises to practice between meetings, plus discussion of what worked and what needs adjusting.
His approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps people test different ways of coping. The work often covers both emotional symptoms and practical life changes, like sleep routines or job-related stress.
Ray trained and built his practice across two decades in Florida. He holds the LMHC credential and draws on long clinical experience to tailor sessions to present concerns. People choosing him should be prepared for direct conversation, structured tools, and follow-up tasks between sessions.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and prioritizes whatever the client brings to the session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors and tests small changes. CBT is used to address anxiety, depression, sleep issues and unhelpful coping patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a brief approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find their own reasons to act.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will review goals and try methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in, reduce travel time, or allow sessions during a lunch break. Those practical benefits often help people sustain progress between appointments.
