About Gillian
Gillian DeLano is an LSCSW (Kansas) and LCSW (Missouri) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. Gillian helps people who are juggling painful memories, heavy responsibilities, or the exhausting effects of repeated stress.
She uses practical, skills-based strategies aimed at changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her approach alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. Sessions tend to focus on observable steps people can try between meetings and on noticing the thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Gillian also works with concerns linked to chronic pain, illness, and disability, plus communication problems and first responder issues. She addresses feelings such as guilt, shame, and struggles around forgiveness and post-traumatic stress with targeted interventions. The work often blends short-term problem solving with longer trauma-focused care when needed.
Her style is direct and task-oriented. She helps clients set concrete goals and track progress. That can mean practicing new responses, testing different behaviors, and rethinking self-critical thoughts.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Gillian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for shorter-term goals and identifying practical next steps to improve communication or daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gillian will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can track what works and adjust the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when larger appointments are hard to arrange. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific service.
