About Gretchen
Gretchen Landry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She has worked in medical social work and with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting problems, grief, and the impact of a cancer diagnosis on patients and their families.
Her background includes helping people navigate illness and its effects on daily life. She understands how physical disease can change emotional responses, family roles, and practical needs. That experience informs how she plans sessions and connects concerns to real-world solutions.
In session she uses a conversational, interactive style. Sessions focus on clear steps: identify worries, try specific strategies, and see what helps in day-to-day life. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to change patterns of thinking and reduce stress.
Gretchen also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing when helpful. These methods support values-based choices and stronger motivation for change. She uses client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person's goals and preferences.
People can expect practical discussions about coping, problem solving, and communication. She works with issues such as addiction, bipolar disorder, family conflicts, parenting strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions aim to make challenges more manageable and to support clearer planning for next steps.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help when people feel stuck making choices or when painful thoughts get in the way of living a meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build different habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic skills to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. That can reduce reactivity and help with emotional regulation during hard moments.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or travel. They can also shorten travel time and let people try brief check-ins between in-person visits. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling meets your everyday needs.
