About Gavin
Gavin Chadwell, LCMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and ADHD find steadier footing. He speaks plainly about daily struggles and offers practical tools to manage emotions and routines. His approach centers on listening first and then choosing methods that fit each person.
Gavin works by helping clients build skills they can use between sessions. Gavin brings ten years of experience working with people who feel overwhelmed by work, relationships, or life changes.
Background and approach
He uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to teach actionable behavior changes. He layers mindfulness practices to help clients slow down and notice what’s happening in the moment. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps.
People learn strategies for sleep, anger, concentration, and reducing compulsive behaviors connected to addiction. He also addresses grief, career concerns, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue with goal-focused conversations. Gavin creates a calm, nonjudgmental space and meets each person where they are.
He focuses on small, realistic changes that add up over time. The work is practical and rooted in real-life demands, not in academic jargon. Clients can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and longer skill-building work.
Gavin helps set clear goals and checks progress each week. He aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-first stance where the therapist follows the person's lead and responds with empathy; it helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gavin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online therapy makes regular work easier to keep up. Video calls allow real-time conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and fit into a break, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people use therapy in ways that match their schedules and energy levels, helping skills transfer into daily life.
