About Claudette

Claudette Gaynor is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of clinical experience who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on fostering self-acceptance and self-compassion, guiding clients to recognize long-held beliefs that no longer serve them and to replace those patterns with more adaptive thoughts and behaviors. Claudette emphasizes an active, collaborative process in which clients engage in exercises and homework to support change.

Her practice blends client-centered therapy with mindfulness-informed practices drawn from meditation to support emotional regulation and greater presence in everyday life. She draws on evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-oriented approaches to address trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, and career-related stress.

Claudette helps clients identify internal resources, reduce suffering, and work toward a richer, more meaningful life. Sessions are offered within a flexible online format and she accepts international clients while practicing under her Florida LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH10194).

How evidence-based approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which supports progress on concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration to help clients explore their sense of self and build self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudette works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s needs and pace. This collaborative stance makes it easier to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for people with busy lives or limited local options. These formats allow ongoing practice, check-ins between sessions, and consistent access to therapeutic work across time zones and locations.
