About Claudette
Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people find steadiness during hard times. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, ADHD, and other life changes. Claudette writes plainly and guides people toward self-acceptance and clearer choices.
She favors a client-centered style that puts the person's goals first. Sessions often include practical exercises and short assignments to practice between meetings. Mindfulness and meditation are offered as everyday tools to reduce reactivity and build calm.
Background and approach
Claudette draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative actions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to clarify values and commit to small steps that match those values. Dialectical approaches help when emotions feel overwhelming or when safety and strong boundaries are needed.
Her work helps people identify long-held beliefs that no longer serve them and replace those beliefs with more useful habits. Claudette encourages active participation, with homework and exercises tailored to each person's situation. She also provides video resources for additional learning and reinforcement.
With 19 years of practice as an LMHC in Florida, she blends practical skills with reflective questions. The aim is steady progress - better routines, clearer priorities, and more confidence in daily decisions. Claudette supports people as they build a life that fits who they are now.
Approach and options for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small consistent steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person to discover their own solutions; it is helpful when someone needs a calm, accepting space to sort out choices.Claudette aims to find the right mix of approaches together with each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize mindfulness practice, skill drills from cognitive work, or value-based action plans.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging can support brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
