Claudette Gaynor, LMHC

Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people facing major life changes and persistent stress. She focuses on helping clients build self-acceptance and self-compassion so they can feel worthy and move toward the life they want. Claudette uses plain, practical steps in sessions and asks clients to take an active role in their progress.

Her approach centers on uncovering long-held beliefs that no longer serve a person and replacing them with new, healthier patterns. She blends talk therapy with mindfulness and meditation practices she uses personally and professionally. Clients may be asked to try short exercises or homework between sessions to reinforce what they learn.

Claudette’s areas of focus include grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, caregiver stress, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and aging and geriatric issues. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, and career stress. This range helps people facing many kinds of transitions or emotional challenges.

With 19 years of experience and an FL LMHC credential, Claudette brings both clinical perspective and practical tools to sessions. She emphasizes identifying internal resources people already have, then building on them so change feels possible. Her style is collaborative and grounded in everyday practices.

People who like a mix of conversation, structured exercises, and mindfulness techniques may find her approach fits well. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions by focusing on what a person wants to stand for and doing steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift stuck patterns; it works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so the client can find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then try approaches that best fit those needs. Sessions can change over time as issues evolve and new strategies are needed.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or guided exercises that fit between daily responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques to work effectively in remote sessions when those approaches are a good match.
