Gayle DuBois, LPC

Gayle DuBois, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Gayle works with concerns such as depression, grief, eating and food-related issues, and parenting stress. She also addresses challenges linked to trauma, obsessive thoughts, panic, social anxiety, and young adult issues.

Gayle brings 27 years of counseling experience based in Oklahoma. Her work centers on clear goals and building simple, doable strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on small changes that move people toward their goals.

Sessions are aimed at teaching coping skills and changing unhelpful patterns. Gayle talks through problems with clients, sets concrete steps, and checks progress as work continues. She also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT-related concerns and offers coaching-style guidance when helpful.

Her style is direct and steady, with an emphasis on what clients can do between sessions. She believes change is hard but possible when a person commits to small, consistent actions. Gayle mixes practical tools with the conversations needed to make them fit everyday life.

People who prefer focused, solution-oriented work often find her approach useful. She provides sessions in multiple online formats and by phone to fit different schedules. Those interested start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Gayle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that can be practiced between appointments to build new habits. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to specific, achievable goals and explores small changes that quickly move someone toward those goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gayle will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief touchpoints, coaching-style support, or a way to send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between appointments.
