More about Francisco
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I have been a mental health counselor for almost 30 years, in Cuba, my country and in the USA. As a psychiatrist, I specialized in medication management, and individual, group, family and couples counseling. I've published articles and books on family and couples therapy. I have been working in a crisis intervention service for several years. After that, I worked at a community mental health service.
My therapeutic style is eclectic. I use various techniques that fit with the case and the current problem. I often practice cognitive behavioral, narrative, conflict resolution and client-center techniques. To treat families and couples I usually proceed with the systemic-constructivist model. For individual cases and couples and families I establish the necessary rapport. In a few sessions, customers often make great progress. Empathy, unconditional acceptance and humor are important issues in my work.
Having studied and worked counseling in various cultural environments allows me to better understand the dynamics of customers.
After I approved credentials in the USA, I have worked in individual counseling with children and adults for over 12 years. I have been professor of clinical psychology in Cuba and in USA. I currently deliver a behavioral analysis as lead analyst for children and young people with autism and other disabling mental conditions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He’s one of the best therapist that I ever had he listen to me and he understand me.
Awesome therapist. I highly recommend him.
He’s a good person, but his terapies aren’t as long as they should be. You barely get to say stuff in half an hour. Although he tried his best and helped out a lot.
A wonderful counselor who listens and offers great advice. Very proud of the progress I've made with his support!
Gracias por Todo señor fransico Que dios simpre me lo bendiga. Y gracias por la ayuda que me a brindado asta El momento
Es una persona que da confianza, seguridad, profesionalismo y positivo. Irradia tranquilidad y conocimiento.
I just started my therapy with Francisco, I feel very comfortable with him. He listens to me and helps me using many tools to understand some situations that happened to me. I am looking forward to continuing my session in the following weeks.
Francisco is amazing at understanding your complicated life situation and finding beautiful metaphors/paradigms to help you make sense of everything and find the right decisions.
Started recently and never had therapy before. Helping a lot trying to improve my mood.
My recent session with Francisco Almagro was the worst interaction I have ever had with any mental health professional. As a provider that listed ADHD as one of his specialities it was shocking and hurtful when he denied ever having a patient with adult ADHD in all his years of practicing. If I wanted to have a psychologist make me feel like crap and gaslight me I would listen to Jordan Peterson.
So far so good!
Dr Almagro is an insightful and intuitive therapist that takes the time to listen to ones primary concerns and engages his clients in practical steps forwards. I have felt very happy with my sessions.
Thanks to work with Almagro, I have been able to understand better the concept of freedom. I would like to go ahead and still be part of the therapy with him.
Francisco Almagro is very professional. He is great at letting me explain my feelings. He has giving me tasks to complete before next session. He is a very understanding person.
Francisco listens and interacts wonderfully. I would highly recommend him.
From the 1st session, i felt she really got me. Instead of invalidating or alienating me for my weird feelings, he reassured me that what i was feeling was human and a natural reaction. Such non judgemental approach from him allowed me to open up with him. I am still in touch with him since he is an amazing in what he does. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking quality therapy.
Excellent! Very knowledgeable. Awesome therapist. Im very lucky to have him as my therapist
Excellent listener. Fair in his assessment. Very sincere.
Francisco is a doctor, but also a friend. Talking with a sincere professional like him it is just something good... Manny thanks.
