About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She provides straightforward, compassionate support for people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes listening first and then working together to set small, practical goals that fit daily life.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what feels overwhelming. Gardner focuses on helping people name their feelings, build coping skills, and respond differently to old patterns. She uses plain language and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Her background blends several therapeutic styles so she can adapt to each person’s needs. This includes client-centered work that keeps the person’s experience central, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Gardner also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity, and deeper patterns.
She has supported people through relationship challenges, caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency concerns, and major life changes. Gardner also works with aging and geriatric issues, addiction-related struggles, attachment and family of origin questions, and recovery after separation or loss.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a collaborative pace. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes empathy and collaborative listening; it helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change, and Gardner adjusts her approach based on what is working in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during life changes and help people practice skills in their everyday environment. Licensed professionals can guide how to structure sessions so they fit into day-to-day routines and personal goals.
