Background and approach
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, spot patterns that cause pain, and try new ways of responding. Gaye keeps goals practical and measurable so progress is easy to notice. She blends client-centered work with evidence-informed methods.
That means the person leading the pace and focus is the client, while specific techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches are offered when useful. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of the toolbox to strengthen coping and decision making. Gaye has four years of counseling experience.
She works with adults across a range of life concerns and brings attention to communication, forgiveness, life purpose, and aging-related topics when they arise. She is also experienced supporting people who are visually impaired and addressing women’s issues. People can expect straightforward language and practical exercises.
Sessions move at a pace that fits each person, and the aim is to leave with clearer next steps and skills to use between meetings.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Gaye commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist following the client’s lead to build understanding and direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and relationship skills. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and handling conflict in healthier ways. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. That process can include experimenting with techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
