About Gavin
Gavin Chadwell is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor working in Vermont with 10 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes.
Gavin uses straightforward, skills-based work. He blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and DBT-informed tools. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can try between meetings, such as noticing unhelpful thoughts, building small behavior changes, and practicing simple attention exercises.
He describes his style as client-centered and motivational. That means he listens first, then helps people set small goals that make day-to-day life easier. Motivation-focused conversations are used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Gavin has worked with people around mood disorders and addictive behaviors across a range of settings during his career. That background informs a pragmatic approach to problems like recurring anger, workplace frustration, and managing strong emotions in relationships.
Sessions are designed to give clear tools and steps people can use right away. People who come with sleep trouble, anger that flares, or ongoing worry often leave with a short plan to try and then bring back for review. He accepts English-speaking clients and works with international clients as well.

How Gavin’s approaches translate to online work
Gavin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in session. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness practice helps people notice rising tension and build brief habits for calming attention rather than reacting immediately. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, especially skills for tolerating strong emotions and managing intense moments. These skills can be learned in short exercises during sessions and practiced between meetings to reduce repeated flare-ups. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Gavin treats this as a collaborative process and helps clients choose methods that match their goals, daily routines, and preferences. Early sessions are often about prioritizing one or two practical skills to try first and adjusting from there. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where their anger tends to arise. Gavin frames sessions around real-life application so tools can be tested between meetings and reviewed in the next appointment.Areas of expertise
