About Claudette

Claudette Gaynor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and life transitions. She speaks plain and direct, and she focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and how they want to live.

Claudette invites clients to take an active role in therapy and to try practical exercises between sessions. She uses a client-centered stance to build a steady working relationship.

Background and approach

That means Claudette listens closely and shapes sessions around each person's values and goals. She also draws on Existential ideas to help people examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. Claudette combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and to build flexible coping skills.

She also uses mindfulness and meditation practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Sessions may include short homework tasks and exercises to practice new habits. Clients report that the work includes identifying old beliefs that no longer serve them and testing new ways of behaving.

Claudette supports people as they face grief, trauma, career shifts, relationship stress, parenting strain, and issues around identity, intimacy, and self-worth. Her approach emphasizes self-acceptance and self-compassion while also aiming for concrete change. Claudette offers guidance, exercises, and ongoing materials to help people carry therapeutic gains into daily life.

Online support

Approaches in online sessions and what they do

Claudette commonly draws on Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives and can be useful when facing big transitions, grief, or questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Claudette works collaboratively with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. She often combines reflective conversation with exercises, mindfulness practices, and short homework to test changes between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video lets people use visual connection for deeper conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging lets clients send notes or practice prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
