About Gail

Gail Roberson is an LPC with 35 years of clinical experience who draws on evidence-based therapies to help clients manage stress, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes an interactive, solution-focused style that combines practical skill-building with attention to each person’s larger life vision. Gail listens without judgment and teaches tools from approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT so clients can cope more effectively and pursue the changes they want.

Her practice has evolved to offer remote sessions exclusively, allowing clients to engage from familiar surroundings and often accelerate progress. Gail frames therapy as more than problem-solving; she also helps people shape meaningful experiences and optimize mental health when that is a goal.

With a warm, client-centered orientation and decades of clinical work, she presents multiple paths to reach goals and tailors interventions to the individual situation.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online



Gail frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take committed actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for managing anxiety, life transitions, and motivation concerns. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting symptom relief for depression, anxiety, and attention-related challenges. When attachment patterns are relevant, Attachment-Based Therapy guides exploration of relational history and its impact on current relationships, helping clients develop more supported ways of connecting.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Gail works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and immediate needs. She offers options and adapts techniques over time so treatment stays aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Gail uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and practice new skills in real-world settings between contacts. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same evidence-based interventions while meeting clients where they are.
