About Geralyn
Dr. Geralyn Dexter is a Florida LMHC with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues such as substance use, self-harm, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns around self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and relationship and family conflict.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods that encourage small, practical changes. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and building skills for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and mindfulness techniques.
Her background includes work in intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, private practice, and startups. That variety informs how she structures sessions and supports people with different schedules and needs. She aims to be direct and pragmatic while listening to what a person wants to change.
In the room, she helps people set concrete goals and track progress. Work might include practicing new coping steps, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and using mindfulness exercises to manage difficult moments. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify priorities and strengthen commitment to change.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Dexter commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness methods. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people clarify values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Mindfulness practice builds single-moment attention to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.Choosing an approach is a collaborative part of the first sessions. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then try practical strategies together. That means the plan can shift if something is not working.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or offer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They are also useful for practicing skills in real-life settings between appointments. Ask about the available formats and typical session length when you complete the matching questionnaire.
