About Gigi
Gigi Muir is an Ohio LPCC with 28 years of counseling experience. She has a long history of work in addiction services and community mental health. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and other life changes including anger and relationship concerns.
She spent many years supporting people with substance use issues and worked a decade in a community mental health agency. That practical background informs how she helps people handle everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps rather than long theoretical discussion.
Her style is relaxed and direct. She listens first, then helps people identify small changes that make a difference. Gigi uses solution-focused techniques alongside client-centered conversation to move toward realistic outcomes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills also appear in her work. These approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice ways to manage stress and strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits tied to addiction or other repeated behaviors.
People who come to her for anger concerns often want better ways to respond at home or work. She helps them recognize triggers, test new responses, and build routines that reduce flare-ups. The aim is practical: clearer communication, fewer reactive moments, and better coping during hard times.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Gigi combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in a straightforward way. CBT helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety and then test practical alternatives. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person rather than imposing a plan.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help with staying present and noticing early signs of escalation. Mindfulness can make it easier to choose responses instead of reacting automatically. Together these methods support work on addiction, mood issues, relationships, and day-to-day stressors.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to focus on and how quickly to move between tools.
The listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and discuss what happens between sessions.
