About Claudette

Claudette Gaynor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC in Florida with 19 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce distress and build clearer choices at work and at home.

She practices from a client-centered stance and uses cognitive and acceptance-based techniques. Claudette helps people notice the thoughts and rules that keep them stuck. Then she supports building different habits and behaviors that match their values. Meditation and mindfulness are offered as daily skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus.

Work in sessions includes talking things through, practicing new responses, and short exercises to try between meetings. Clients are invited to use homework and guided tutorials to keep progress going outside sessions. Claudette describes therapy as active work rather than only talk.

Her approach addresses patterns such as control issues, codependency, shame, and attachment wounds. She also helps with career stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem solving and clearer communication skills are common parts of her work.

Claudette accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her online sessions use practical therapy approaches

Claudette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then choosing actions that reflect what matters most. This helps when anger or resentment gets in the way of relationships or goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaborating so the client directs what matters in each session and practical steps follow from that.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior experiments. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claudette will discuss options and help choose techniques that fit the client’s goals, preferences, and daily life in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Online meetings can shorten commute time, allow quicker check-ins, and let clients practice skills in their usual settings. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you set up the first appointment so sessions match everyday life.
