About Claudette

Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She focuses on career concerns, relationships, and healing after trauma. Claudette centers therapy on helping people find self-acceptance and greater compassion for themselves. Her style is client-centered, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. She guides clients to identify long-held beliefs that no longer serve them and to gently replace those patterns with new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness and meditation practices are offered as tools to bring calm and clarity into daily life. Claudette describes therapy as an active process. Clients may work on exercises between sessions and use video tutorials she provides to reinforce practice. She helps people notice internal strengths and apply them to practical changes around work, money, relationships, and caregiving stress. Her approach blends cognitive methods with acceptance-based and existential ideas. This mix aims to address thoughts and behaviors while also exploring meaning and personal values. Claudette emphasizes building self-worth so clients can take steps toward the life they want. With 19 years of experience as an LMHC, she draws on a broad set of tools to support people through transitions, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career questions. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients who wish to work with her.

Approaches to Help You Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values rather than trying to eliminate feelings. It can help people facing anxiety, grief, or life transitions who want clearer direction in their choices.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and support while clients decide the pace and focus of sessions, which can help with building self-acceptance and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors to create practical changes. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depressive thinking, and stress by teaching skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudette will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what session types are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients continue care while living or working in different locations.
