Gayle does an amazing job! I was anxious about getting into therapy, my first therapist wasn't a right match for me but since communicating with Gayle I feel way more comfortable talking to her. She is very understanding and listens, giving feedback throughout the conversation. I love talking to her, she is very personable!
More about Gayle
- 27 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2001 and I have over 26 years experience working with children, adolescents and families that are experiencing behavioral, emotional and mental health difficulties. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem/self-worth, parent/child relationship issues, parenting difficulties, and those who struggle with ADD and ADHD symptoms. I have also worked with individuals that have experienced trauma, physical and emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm, understanding, empathetic and interactive; however, I am direct and will challenge you to be the best that you can be. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Motivational Therapy and teaching Mindfulness skills and techniques. I approach everyone that I work with as an individual; therefore, I will tailor our dialog and treatment to meet your unique and specific needs.
I respect that it takes courage to seek our assistance to see a more fulfilling and happier like and I admire you taking those steps. I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely, Gayle

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
