About Wallace
Dent brings three years as an LPC and decades of personal meditation practice to his work. He blends tools from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral approaches, and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and try different responses. He often guides short, practical exercises in sessions so people have skills to use between visits.
His approach is warm and accepting. He emphasizes self-compassion and helping people find purpose and meaning in life. Sessions are meant to be collaborative, with goals set together and concrete steps to reach them.
People with worry, stress, relationship issues, depression, grief, trauma histories, or struggles with addiction or shame may find this approach helpful. Dent also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, chronic illness-related stress, and challenges tied to career or life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life
Dr. Wallace "Dent" Gitchel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based practices to help people live in line with their values and handle difficult emotions. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then taking actions that match what matters most. Mindfulness work trains attention to reduce reactivity and to build steady responses during stressful moments.Dent also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. Together the therapist and client decide which methods feel most useful. Figuring out the right mix is a collaborative process that evolves as goals and needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend from a quieter spot or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to online settings so skills practiced in sessions transfer into everyday life.
