About Wallace
Dr. Wallace "Dent" Gitchel greets worried parents with a calm, direct presence. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of parenting.
He emphasizes practical tools and steady support so parents can manage daily strain and reconnect with what matters most. Gitchel draws on several well-known approaches to make therapy concrete and useful. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps.
Background and approach
He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns show up today. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are conversational and focused on what a parent needs right now.
The tone is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on choice and skill-building. Parents who feel overwhelmed by life changes, grief, addiction, or chronic stress are offered a clear plan and tools to practice between sessions. He blends mindfulness practices with client-centered listening to help people notice patterns without judgment.
That combination aims to reduce reactivity and build steadier coping during hard moments. The work favors small changes you can use right away. Dr.
Gitchel has three years of experience as an LPC and describes his work as collaborative. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small committed steps toward those values. In online sessions this can look like setting doable home practices and checking progress by video or message. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns from the past and how they affect current connections; conversations and reflective exercises online can uncover these patterns and guide new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and cognitive techniques, and adjusting how the work is done depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer check-ins. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer to be off camera. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when you need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule.
