About Gerald
Gerald Syrkett is an LMHC licensed in Florida with 13 years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, and addictions. He also focuses on guilt and shame, veteran and armed forces issues, and prejudice and discrimination. Gerald conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Gerald takes a straightforward, practical approach. He treats clients as the expert on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Conversations focus on clear goals and small changes that can reduce distress and improve daily routines.
His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. Attachment-Based ideas help him look at patterns from important relationships. Client-Centered methods keep the focus on each person's perspective and priorities.
Sessions move at a practical pace. Gerald talks through specific problems, suggests experiments to test new ways of coping, and reviews what works and what does not. He helps people break big problems into manageable steps and track progress week to week.
Before a first session he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a meeting. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Cost varies with location, so he encourages checking the session details during the sign-up steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Gerald uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts and test practical changes in daily life. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short experiments, and tracking what happens next. Attachment-Based Therapy helps identify how past and current relationships shape reactions and expectations, which can be useful when addressing parenting or veteran-related concerns.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to weigh options, set goals, and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. The client’s priorities guide whether more CBT-focused skills, attachment work, or client-centered conversations are emphasized.
