About Gigi
Gigi Muir brings nearly three decades of counseling experience to her work. She holds an LPCC and has a long history helping people who are dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical.
She aims to listen first and help clients find clear next steps. Much of her early career focused on addiction services. She also spent ten years at a community mental health agency, which broadened her experience with mood disorders, panic and phobias, and family problems.
Background and approach
That background informs how she understands overlapping concerns like substance use, trauma, and relationship strain. In sessions she uses techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. She tends to keep sessions simple and goal-oriented.
Conversations often start with what is most pressing and move toward small, doable changes. Gigi also works with issues such as parenting stress, self-esteem, career difficulties, intimacy concerns, and anger. Additional areas she can address include aging and geriatric issues, codependency, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions.
People who prefer a relaxed, listening style and a practical roadmap for change may find her approach helpful. She practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. Her style is collaborative - she listens, offers options, and helps clients choose what fits their life.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients identify their own goals and next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, understanding space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. CBT offers concrete tools for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and doable.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversation. Phone sessions work well when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step problem solving, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical progress.
