Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with anxiety can feel exhausting. Your mind may constantly race with "what if" thoughts, making it difficult to relax, sleep, focus, or enjoy the present moment. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, avoiding situations that feel overwhelming, experiencing panic attacks, or carrying a persistent sense of worry that never seems to turn off. Over time, anxiety can affect your relationships, work performance, physical health, and overall quality of life.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, chronic stress, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, and fears that interfere with daily life. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your anxiety while helping you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system work together.
Using proven approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and trauma-informed care, you'll learn practical skills to manage anxious thoughts, regulate overwhelming emotions, reduce avoidance, and build lasting confidence. When anxiety is rooted in unresolved trauma, EMDR therapy may also be incorporated to help process experiences that continue to fuel fear and emotional distress. You don't have to live in survival mode. Therapy can help you quiet the constant mental noise, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more grounded, present, and in control of your life. Healing is possible, and you don't have to face anxiety alone.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

In therapy we will work on understanding what is driving your anxiety and learning ways to manage it more effectively. The focus is on helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in handling situations that used to feel overwhelming.

14 Years Experience
Online in Santa Ana, CA (Online Only)
Santa Ana is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States and has an overwhelmingly Latino population — predominantly Mexican American, with significant Central American communities — making Spanish-speaking and bicultural therapists not a specialty but a baseline requirement for meaningful access to care. The city's families navigate a complex mix of immigration stress, economic precarity, and the particular challenges of raising children across cultures, and therapists fluent in both language and cultural context serve an essential community function. Rady Children's Health Orange County (formerly CHOC) and the broader Orange County healthcare system provide institutional mental health resources, though access can be limited by insurance and immigration-related barriers. Telehealth has meaningfully expanded therapy access for Santa Ana residents who prefer culturally matched care over what is available locally.
