Gunjani Patel-Oza , LPCC, LMHC

Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed therapist with 17 years of professional experience, offering compassionate, individualized care for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials - LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and LMHC means Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings a practical, respectful approach to each therapeutic relationship.

She combines sensitivity with clinical skill to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs, whether the focus is executive coaching, coping with life transitions, or processing past abuse. Her work centers on building a collaborative plan that honors the client’s goals and pace, and she emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper emotional work.

Gunjani values courage and acknowledges the strength it takes to begin therapy. She aims to create a space where clients can explore attachment and communication patterns, manage panic or sleep concerns, and address feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation. Her practice integrates therapeutic techniques chosen to meet specific needs and supports clients as they move toward clearer purpose and improved coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gunjani often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and EMDR as part of her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while identifying actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life-direction concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships, helping individuals understand and change how they relate to others, which supports work on communication, abandonment, and relationship difficulties. EMDR is a structured approach used to process painful or traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and it is often applied when past trauma affects daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals, including therapists she works with, offer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility in format and scheduling. These options help people access support from different locations and at different times, allowing the therapeutic work to continue in a way that suits each individual.
