About Claudette Gaynor
Claudette Gaynor is a Florida-based, client-centered psychotherapist who brings 19 years of experience to her work and holds the LMHC credential (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). She approaches each person as more than a set of symptoms, guiding clients to discover a more authentic sense of self and to design a life aligned with their values and desires. Her work emphasizes self-acceptance and self-compassion, helping people recognize their inherent worth and to replace long-standing beliefs that no longer serve them with healthier perspectives and behaviors.
In addition to formal mental health training, she integrates meditation and mindfulness practices into therapy to support emotional regulation and everyday wellbeing. Sessions include practical supports such as structured exercises and homework, with ongoing learning resources available through YouTube tutorials that clients can use between meetings. Claudette draws from a range of clinical approaches - including acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered methods, cognitive strategies, and skills-based tools - to tailor care to each personâs needs.
Her clinical focus includes life-changing transitions and common stressors such as trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship and career concerns, and general stress management. She helps people identify internal resources for healing, make purposeful changes, and create richer, more meaningful lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Claudette uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and values guide the work; this approach is helpful for people navigating identity questions, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to help clients clarify what matters most, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful change - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudette collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative style helps tailor interventions and adapt techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Claudette offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-informed therapies effectively through these formats, providing continuity of care and practical supports that integrate with daily life.
