About Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Mississippi and Louisiana with more than 20 years of practice. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anxiety, and depression. She also works with adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, and life purpose questions.

Her approach is grounded and straightforward. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want to change habits or commit to new choices.

In a session she listens to what is pressing and helps people sort priorities. Conversations focus on practical next steps and clearer choices. She pays attention to communication problems, blended family dynamics, and issues that come with divorce or separation.

Gwendolyn has two decades of experience supporting people through caregiving demands, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and cancer-related stress. She also addresses isolation and loneliness that can follow major life changes. Her background includes work with veterans and employment-related stress.

Sessions are offered in English. The office location is in Mississippi and she holds an MS LCSW and LA LCSW. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on what matters most to the person and build from there to set small, manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete tools to change them. In an online visit CBT can include tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what worked. Motivational Interviewing is a coaching-style method that helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthen commitment to those choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

This therapist's biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can support practical tasks such as homework review, behavioral experiments, and planning next steps so therapy fits into daily life.
