About Claudette
Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person. Sessions focus on helping clients notice long-standing beliefs and try new ways of living that feel more authentic and doable.
Claudette uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals first. She blends practical exercises with mindfulness and meditation practices she also teaches. Clients may be invited to try short homework tasks between sessions to build skills that stick.
Her work often centers on transitions and coping with difficult emotions after loss, trauma, or major shifts in life. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addiction, codependency, and challenges at work or home. The aim is to identify internal resources and make gradual changes that improve daily life.
Claudette draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and Jungian perspectives to tailor sessions to each person. She integrates meditation and mindfulness throughout the process to help manage reactivity and increase presence.
With 19 years of experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she combines clinical practice with meditation training. Prospective clients who prefer a collaborative, practical style may find her approach helpful for building self-acceptance and clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and clarifies values to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone wants clearer direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person's own insight and choices; it helps when someone needs acceptance and space to explore feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the selection of techniques is guided by what proves most helpful in practice.
Confirm specific session options before booking since the biography does not list particular formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help reduce travel time, and allow people to join from different locations, including international ones. It also supports using brief exercises, guided mindfulness, and homework between meetings so therapeutic learning continues during the week.
