Claudette Gaynor

Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on building self-acceptance, self-compassion, and practical steps that change daily life. Claudette uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals at the center of the work. She brings meditative practices and mindfulness into sessions to help manage strong emotions and build steady habits. Homework and short exercises between meetings are part of the plan so change continues outside the therapy hour. Her practice pays attention to life transitions such as loss, career shifts, and relationship challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction concerns, and stress from caregiving or career demands. Claudette helps clients notice old patterns and replace unhelpful beliefs with new, workable behaviors. Therapy with her blends talk work and simple skills practice. She offers tools for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. Videos and guided exercises are available as additional resources to reinforce what is learned in sessions. With 19 years of experience and licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Claudette works from Florida and offers services in English. She encourages an active role from clients and focuses on steady, practical change that fits everyday life.

Approaches used online and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take action guided by personal values. It can be helpful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction and purpose.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and supporting a person’s own choices. This approach helps people build self-acceptance and self-compassion while they work through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches skills to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and managing stress with clear exercises and practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration guides which methods and exercises are emphasized in sessions.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use guided mindfulness exercises and video or audio resources between sessions to reinforce skills learned in therapy.
