About Geralyn

Dr. Geralyn Dexter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience who uses evidence-informed therapies to help people navigate stress, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques to support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and address patterns that keep clients stuck. Her practice also addresses depression, addiction-related issues, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and workplace or career stress.

Her background includes work in intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, independent practice, and startup settings, which has shaped a flexible, pragmatic style. She emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and collaboration, helping clients identify values, set realistic goals, and develop skills for coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, bipolar disorder, and other co-occurring concerns.

Dr. Dexter’s approach is warm and solution-focused while remaining attentive to each person’s unique story and priorities.

Online therapy grounded in evidence-based methods

Dr. Dexter often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and mood regulation. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based living and teach acceptance strategies that reduce the struggle with painful thoughts and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques are frequently drawn upon for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so the work fits the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. This helps ensure therapy stays practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow therapists and clients to practice skills between meetings in formats that suit the client’s routine.
