About Gail

Gail Newman is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, and ADHD, and brings practical strategies alongside empathic listening. Gail aims to foster an atmosphere where clients can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment, and she emphasizes collaboration in identifying goals and steps forward.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-focused work, and EMDR when appropriate. Gail also attends to issues that often accompany mental health concerns such as communication problems, caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, impulsivity, and midlife transitions.

She invites clients to take a first step toward change and offers guidance on how to translate insight into daily routines and coping skills suited to each person’s circumstances.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Needs

Gail uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and everyday stress. She also integrates trauma-focused work and EMDR for those coping with traumatic memories, using structured techniques to process distressing experiences and reduce their impact on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and symptom patterns with each client and adapts methods over time, combining client-centered listening with targeted interventions to match what feels most helpful and realistic for the person in front of her.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum while fitting therapy into a busy life.
