About

About Gail

Gail Roberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She offers practical, interactive work that focuses on what a person needs right now. Gail writes in plain language and teaches skills clients can use between sessions.

She centers therapy on the person in front of her and adapts tools to each situation. Gail uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce stress and manage anxiety.

Background and approach

She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies when emotional regulation or intense feelings are present. Parents and caregivers often find her straightforward style helpful when managing parenting stress, blended family concerns, or communication problems. She also addresses grief, relationship struggles, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Gail can talk about intimacy-related issues, codependency, and body image in a direct, nonjudgmental way. Gail moved her practice to remote counseling over five years ago and conducts sessions from her mobile practice. She values practical assignments that people can try between meetings, and she shares short exercises and worksheets to keep progress moving.

She listens closely and helps people pick steps that fit their daily life. Her work is guided by a simple belief: most problems have multiple paths to change. Gail helps clients find the approach that fits their goals and their life.

She writes children’s books and brings real-world examples into sessions when helpful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It tends to be action-oriented with homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and communication, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship struggles. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gail will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. She treats the selection of tools as a collaborative process and can combine approaches when that better serves your situation. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and do longer sessions, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing contact and short check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep momentum with worksheets and messaging when it helps progress.
