About Claudette
Claudette Gaynor is a Florida LMHC with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting questions, addiction, trauma, and life changes. She also lists work with issues such as ADHD, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are aimed at helping people identify patterns that cause pain and find practical steps forward.
Claudette uses a client-centered stance that focuses on self-acceptance and self-compassion. She helps people notice long-held beliefs that no longer serve them and replace those beliefs with new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness and meditation practice are part of her approach and may be incorporated into sessions and daily routines.
Her work includes concrete exercises and homework between sessions. She encourages active participation and offers additional learning resources, including guided videos and tutorials she has created. The emphasis is on developing internal resources to manage grief, trauma, career strain, and relationship challenges.
Claudette describes support for life stage transitions, caregiving stress, and immigration-related concerns among other focus areas. She blends cognitive and behavioral tools with acceptance-oriented strategies to address both thoughts and emotions. The result is a practical focus on what people can do differently in their everyday lives.
People looking for a therapist who integrates meditation practices with talk therapy may find this approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and major life changes when values-based choices feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments and behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving day-to-day difficulties.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Claudette will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and adjust techniques as work continues. That means combining acceptance strategies, mindfulness, and cognitive tools in ways that feel practical for each person.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list exact delivery methods. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and practice mindfulness or behavioral exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress continues between meetings.
