About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza uses a collaborative, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She holds LPCC, LMHC credentials and brings 17 years of clinical experience to each session. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Her work often focuses on practical skills and real-life decisions. She helps clients notice patterns, set workable goals, and try new behaviors between sessions.
Background and approach
This can include tools for coping with panic, reducing overwhelm, or improving communication in important relationships. Gunjani also supports people coping with trauma-related symptoms, postpartum mood changes, and compassion fatigue. When memories or intense reactions come up, she uses approaches that help process those experiences and reduce their hold on daily life.
She is comfortable addressing dissociation, phobias, and post-traumatic stress in straightforward terms. Clients looking for clarity about life purpose, forgiveness work, or rebuilding self-worth can expect thoughtful, paced conversations. She combines elements from attachment-focused work and emotion-focused therapy to strengthen how people understand and manage feelings.
Coaching strategies are used when clients want help with confidence, career moves, or behavioral change. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in California and internationally. Gunjani adapts her style to each person’s needs and helps them plan small steps toward change.
Approach-focused online therapy to process feelings and make changes
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the client and builds small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions. It helps people understand their attachment needs and experiment with different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people with trauma reactions, panic, or intrusive memories by giving the brain a chance to reorganize how those memories are stored.
Deciding which approach to use is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and offer options. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let clients send thoughts between sessions or check in on tough days. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or busy family schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
