About Claudette
Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She centers work on self-acceptance and self-compassion so clients can make practical changes that fit their values. Claudette emphasizes everyday tools and clear steps so people can begin to feel different sooner.
Her approach starts with listening and helping each person name the beliefs that get in the way. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Claudette also brings practices from mindfulness and meditation into sessions so clients can manage moments of overwhelm more easily.
Clients who work with her often do short exercises between sessions and try new ways of coping in real life. She provides video tutorials and other materials to support that homework. Sessions include exploring grief, trauma, addiction concerns, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting pressures, career stress, and questions about identity and belonging.
Claudette has 19 years of experience and integrates elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and existential ideas when they suit a person’s goals. She aims to help people identify their inner resources and build lasting habits that reflect their priorities.
People who want practical tools, mindfulness practices, and clear steps for change may find her style direct and compassionate. Claudette invites clients to work actively in the process and to try tools between sessions to see gradual shifts.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, life transitions, and low mood by teaching practical actions to live a valued life.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people uncover their own answers. This approach supports self-acceptance and builds trust so a person can try new behaviors at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by providing clear exercises to change thinking and behavior.
Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches to fit what a person needs. Clients and the therapist work together to try techniques and adjust the plan over time.
