About Gayle
Gayle DuBois helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can take right away. Gayle is an LPC with 27 years of experience and practices from Oklahoma.
She pairs goal-focused work with skills people can use between sessions. Gayle favors straightforward methods that point toward clear outcomes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going, and she uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals.
How Gayle works
Sessions center on specific strategies such as breaking problems into smaller steps and building routines that reduce distress. Clients bring a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, social anxiety, and low self-esteem. Gayle also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, LGBT-related concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
She emphasizes practical coping tools and steady progress. Gayle draws on nearly three decades of clinical work to adapt what she offers to each person. She listens for what’s working and what isn’t, then helps people try different, achievable approaches.
Her style is patient and goal-oriented, aiming for change that fits daily life. People who choose her can expect clear explanations, step-by-step plans, and tasks to practice between sessions. The focus is on measurable progress and building skills that last beyond therapy.

How goal-focused approaches work online
Gayle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for anxiety, panic attacks, eating concerns, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is another key tool she uses; it emphasizes setting clear, short-term goals and building the small steps that lead to visible change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gayle treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix makes the most sense based on goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
