About Eulices

Eulices Montiel-Fernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He practices in Florida and New Jersey and works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues. He also addresses problems such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment worries, panic attacks, and struggles with identity and intimacy.

He uses a person-centered, solution-focused style in sessions. That means conversations begin with what matters now and focus on small, practical steps a person can try between meetings. He aims to help people gain clearer thinking about their choices and what keeps them stuck.

In practice he asks straightforward questions about patterns, emotions, and behaviors. He helps people name painful feelings like guilt or shame and looks at how those feelings affect relationships and daily life. Sessions often include discussion of communication habits, coping for panic or mood shifts, and ways to manage urges tied to addiction.

His background includes long work in addiction treatment and clinical leadership at a treatment center. That experience shapes how he balances direct guidance with listening. He draws on approaches that are evidence based and focuses on what produces change in day-to-day life.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. For people considering therapy he asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

Approaches for working with guilt, shame, and behavior patterns

He practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people spot the thoughts and situations that trigger guilt or shame, and then experiments with small behavioral changes to reduce their impact. This approach is useful for mood disorders, social anxiety, and recurring shame about past events.

Another approach emphasizes solution-focused work. Sessions concentrate on current problems and realistic next steps rather than long historical accounts. This method suits people who want concrete coping strategies for panic attacks, impulsivity, or addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt sessions so work happens in ways that match a person's schedule and communication comfort.
