Gavin Chadwell

Gavin Chadwell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical. Gavin offers straightforward, skills-based work. He blends mindfulness with cognitive-behavioral ideas to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions tend to include breathing and grounding practices, thinking exercises that shift unhelpful habits, and step-by-step plans for daily life. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to build momentum when change feels hard. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space and meets people where they are. The room is meant for real talk about frustrations at school, work, or home and for figuring out what feels doable next. Gavin emphasizes strength-based tools people can use between sessions. With ten years of experience and a focus on mood, anxiety, and addiction concerns, he draws on a mix of practical approaches rather than one fixed method. That variety helps tailor work to each person’s needs. Gavin welcomes conversations about goals and what a helpful pace looks like. He supports people who want concrete skills, clearer choices, and more steady days.

How Gavin blends therapy approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels; it involves listening closely, reflecting what matters, and shaping goals around the client's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what change matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and sleep issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when steadying responses are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the person's life and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is helpful, or let someone choose a quieter time of day for focused practice. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so they match your needs.
