Claudette Gaynor , LMHC

Claudette Gaynor is a client-centered psychotherapist licensed in Florida who helps people move through life transitions and recover a sense of self beyond thoughts and symptoms. She practices from a belief that individuals are more than their bodies or minds and guides clients toward greater self-acceptance and self-compassion so they can live the life they want. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she blends clinical training with meditation and mindfulness practice to support calmer, more intentional daily living.

In sessions with Claudette, clients work collaboratively to identify long-standing beliefs that no longer serve them and to replace those patterns with new, healthier thinking and behaviors. Her approach includes practical exercises and homework to reinforce change between meetings, and she supplements therapy with 24 hour support through YouTube tutorials to help clients practice skills outside of sessions.

Claudette focuses on major life stressors and transitions including trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, career and relationship challenges, and spiritual concerns. She helps people locate internal resources for healing, make needed changes, and build a richer, more meaningful life. Her practice emphasizes active participation, compassion, and realistic skill-building to support sustained growth.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Claudette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative support to strengthen self-acceptance and build trust, which can be especially helpful for relational and identity concerns. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudette works together with each person to determine which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative stance allows techniques to be tailored and adjusted over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Claudette offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access support from different locations. These formats support consistent progress and allow therapists to provide ongoing guidance and skill practice in ways that suit each client's daily life.
