About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Boyd-McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction concerns, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, and parenting strains.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on learning skills to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one method she uses to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and try different ways of responding.
Gwendolyn also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take action aligned with what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and responds, keeping the person's experiences central. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for setting concrete short-term goals and tracking small changes.
In a typical session she will listen, ask focused questions, and suggest practical exercises to try between meetings. Homework might include tracking moods, experimenting with new behaviors, or testing out alternative thoughts. These tasks are meant to build skills that fit into everyday life.
People who choose her work with someone who favors collaboration and measurable steps. She invites clients to set goals, check progress, and adjust approaches as needed. Sessions are conducted in English and open to people inside and outside the United States.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Gwendolyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing different responses, and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust those methods as progress is reviewed. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down commute time, and allow for short check-ins when a full in-person visit is not practical. They also let people practice skills in their normal environment and then discuss what worked or what to change at the next meeting.Areas of expertise
