About Gigi
Gigi Muir is an Ohio-based counselor with 28 years of experience. She holds an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and has spent much of her career supporting people through addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She presents a relaxed, approachable style that many find easy to talk with.
Her background includes long-term work in addiction services and a decade at a community mental health agency. That mix shaped her practical focus on problem-solving and day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
She often combines listening with clear steps people can try between sessions. In sessions she leans on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are introduced when they fit the person's goals. Gigi works with people dealing with parenting stress, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, trauma and substance use challenges. She also helps with career strain, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life transitions.
Her additional interests include communication problems, codependency, and pregnancy and childbirth related issues. She prefers a collaborative approach - listening first, then planning practical next steps. Sessions aim to be straightforward and geared toward real change that can be tracked over time.
People looking for calm, pragmatic guidance often find her style helpful.

How her approaches work online
Gigi commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the person set the pace and goals; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives people practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether the focus is on short-term solutions, skill-building with CBT, or more open, client-led discussion.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, follow-up between sessions, or a way to share progress without scheduling a full call.
