About Gerald
Gerald Syrkett is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings 13 years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and ADHD.
Background and approach
He approaches each person as the expert of their own life, helping them identify strengths and resources to move through difficult moments and make practical changes. His work also attends to issues of guilt and shame, the impacts of prejudice and discrimination, and matters related to veterans and armed forces experiences.
Gerald uses collaborative, evidence-informed methods to tailor work to individual needs. He blends attachment-based ideas about relationships and connection with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral strategies that focus on thinking patterns and behavior changes.
He aims to make starting therapy approachable, acknowledging that taking the first step takes courage and partnering with clients to set goals and measure progress. Gerald offers sessions in English and accepts international clients while practicing under his Florida LMHC credential.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Gerald draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and expectations, which can help when patterns of connection, trust, or closeness influence stress and mood. He also uses client-centered therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead while supporting self-discovery and personal strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool in his work, focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and problematic patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the collaborative process. Gerald partners with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and may blend methods to match what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to discuss which strategies resonate and to adjust the plan over time as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect across distances. These options let licensed professionals provide care in ways that accommodate different communication styles and daily routines, supporting consistent work toward personal goals.
