Quencina Gardner

Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress, and helps people take the first step toward feeling more settled. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people move forward when life feels overwhelming.

In sessions she builds a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Conversations often focus on managing strong emotions, improving communication, and finding small, practical changes that reduce distress. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions.

Quencina uses several therapeutic styles to match the needs of each person. She draws on client-centered ideas to make the client’s concerns the priority. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address upsetting thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior ideas to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She brings attention to life stage and context, including aging and caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and family of origin patterns. Issues like codependency, commitment worries, and substance use concerns are addressed with practical strategies and clear goals. Clients can expect honest feedback and a steady focus on steps they can try between sessions.

To begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making the client's goals the priority. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead while helping clarify concerns and set practical steps forward.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more useful options. In remote sessions this often means practicing skills together and assigning short exercises to do between meetings to track progress.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress. Online work can introduce simple emotion regulation and grounding skills that people can try during daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will adjust methods over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are determined by the therapist's practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows focused skill practice and consistent follow-up from licensed professionals without promising a particular format.
