About Gillian
Gillian DeLano is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kansas with seven years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress and anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on chronic pain and illness, communication problems, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress.
Gillian treats conversations as practical problem solving. Sessions aim to identify what is most urgent and what can change day to day. She helps people name their struggles, spot patterns that make problems worse, and try small, doable steps to shift how they respond. Expect clear, direct talk about what is working and what needs adjusting.
Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with solution-focused and trauma-focused work. That mix lets her match tools to the issue at hand - for example skills for coping with anxiety or step-by-step plans after trauma. She keeps explanations concrete and action oriented.
Gillian takes a strengths-based view. She encourages people to use their own values and priorities to guide decisions. Sessions commonly include practical exercises, short skills practice, and talking through concrete next steps to try between meetings.
She practices in Kansas and conducts sessions in English. To set up a first meeting, clients use the site process to answer a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and building small actions that align with those values. ACT can help with anxiety, chronic stress, and the frustration that follows illness or ongoing pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical strategies to shift difficult thinking and reduce avoidance. CBT is often used for anxiety, grief reactions, and stress management.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Gillian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on symptoms, goals, and day-to-day needs. That means checking what helps, making adjustments, and keeping the plan focused on measurable steps and real-life problems.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins between other responsibilities. They also let people practice skills where those difficulties actually happen. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial match so sessions can be planned to fit work, family, and health demands.
