I was a bit nervous about my first session. But after a couple of minutes Diego made me feel comfortable enough that I was very honest and open about my past traumas and things I need to work on.

Reviewed November 2024

I’ve been with better help for over 2 years and Diego is the best therapist I’ve had on the platform hands down. He responds to every message you send him and actually goes over them during the session. He takes lots of notes and is extremely present during your session. None of the other therapists I had were great but I guess they were what I needed at the time. But whether your starting better help or have been with the platform awhile, I’d rec comes Diego. He’s the best!

More about Diego

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience working individually with clients to address issues and promote their personal well-being and success. I believe every individual is unique and my approach is tailored to and reflects the specific needs of the client. I have dedicated myself to assisting individuals navigate through the various issues encountered in their personal life experience, while improving their quality of life.

The human experience and the needs of every individual are specific to the person, and I believe that there is not a "one-size-fits all" approach and/or solution that will "work all the time." Every session is tailored to the current, here & now, physical and mental state of the client and always in direction of the underlying personal need.

Together, we can deal with and/or navigate, any difficulty that you may encounter in life, as I believe, no issue/challenge is too big for an individual to overcome/manage. Thank you for taking the time to read this description, I look forward to our time and work together during session.

Kind regards,

Diego Gumucio

I been having Diego for almost a year now as my therapist and I'm really grateful for him. I'm someone that has a hard time trusting people and Diego has made me feel safe and heard. Even when I don't make sense sometimes he will try to help me and be there when I need him. I'm still overthinking things but thanks to Diego I'm working on it. Thank you Diego for everything. I definitely recommend him as a therapist. He will hear you and not judge you. He will make you feel human again.

I have had a great experience. I’ve seen A LOT of different therapists over the years and I know how stressful it can be trying to find the right one. I’ve had 2 great therapists who helped me out tremendously and Mr. Gumucio is shaping up to be the third. Give him a try. He is very qualified and it shows. He asks a lot of questions and doesn’t judge how you answer them, he just uses the info to help him understand how to better treat you. He also guides you through thoughts and often uses the chat to send useful info about what you might have talked about during the session. The 45 minutes always go by fast and I never have to worry about what he might say. In my experience this is just the type of therapist that has helped me in the past.

Diego is very fluid regarding your therapy needs. He doesn't try to fit you in a category. His answers are not generic.

I am happy with Mr. Diego Gunucio. He has ALWAYS been attentive to my concerns. He has good every and I am pleased with his professionalism too. He understands my needs and he pays attention to the issues that I deem important. He was my rock when I faced the most difficult time of my life and he has supported me me ways that not even him would ever truly understand. I feel confident that recommending him to a family member, a friend or colleague would be would be a positive and they would be pleased with his skills, experience and his ability to understand and offer the help needed to get them in a better place. He is not one to be late for his appointments nor is he one to hold back on anything. He is kind, and I love that fact that his approach to therapy motivates while at the same time inspires. He also responds to messages in quick time and he makes sure that I am aware the he is always accessible outside of my booked sessions/appointments to ask any questions of share anything that would be on my mind… . Apart from the time he speaks with me and respond to my messages he also sends me thoughtful nuggets for wellness. I strongly believe in him and I will conclude by stating that while I would want to give up BetterHelp; I would not want to loose Mr. Gumucio.

Diego is a non judgmental compassionate listener who makes me feel safe to share things I’ve never told anyone. He asks excellent questions that elicit a lot of inner reflection and empowerment. He is much better than my last therapist who had a PHD but seemed to lack real curiosity in her questions. She was looking for answers that confirmed her biases and when she wasn’t making progress she projected that onto me. Thank god I am old enough and know myself well enough to not be screwed up by that kind of poor therapy. I am so glad I found Diego. I am rapidly acknowledging buried traumas and old thinking habits and replacing with new more helpful inner belief systems. Diego has a unique gift of making you feel seen, heard and your experience validated. He is a unicorn.

I was having a look at the better help app and noticed that I could write a review and I will attempt so to do. Let see where my thought will go in the next few minutes: Working with Diego has been enlightening and rather refreshing experience. It’s been just a few weeks and it has been rewarding this far. He seems to always have the right answers and he listens keenly. That aside though, he chooses the very best questions. I must also add that he has the ability to follow the issues presented be they: relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression or emotional support. The way he phrases his questions causes you to have a new perspective. Certainly Diego knows how to in each session build self self esteem. His style is quite refreshing for modern day sessions especially given the advent of meeting online. I’m confident that he goes the extra mile to ensure that you leave each session with a new outlook and youre put in the drivers seat to handle your personal issues and make critical life decision. You’d leave his sessions feeling restored and feeling better than you would have felt at the beginning of each session. “This therapist is truly gifted.” At the end of my first session I was eager for a follow up. I could hardly wait to meet with him again to continue where we would have left off. Sure enough , it felt and a continuation form the previous session and I could tell that he made superb notes of the issues presented. It was clear to me that he had a plan of action from the very initial conversation. This in my view speaks volumes. I can’t help but to say: Diego nails each session and it shows that he is passionate about his work. “He knows his stuff. “
