About Geralyn
Dr. Geralyn Dexter uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and feel more grounded. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience.
Dr. Dexter focuses on clear, practical work that helps people make changes in daily life and at work. She helps with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic, and problems with self-esteem.
She also supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the strain of caregiving.
How Geralyn works
Relationship and communication problems, workplace stress, and issues common to young adults are part of her practice too. Dr. Dexter draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Sessions emphasize simple skills clients can use between meetings - skills for managing difficult thoughts, regulating intense feelings, and staying focused on values. She tailors methods to the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed plan. Her background includes work in outpatient programs, in-home therapy, independent practice, and startup settings.
That variety informs a flexible approach to scheduling and problem solving. The goal is steady progress toward realistic goals, not rapid fixes. People who choose Dr.
Dexter generally want straightforward tools and a calm, compassionate guide. She aims to build a working relationship based on trust and clear communication so clients can notice small, meaningful changes over time.

Online support options
How ACT and CBT translate into online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. Online ACT sessions often use values exercises, short behavioral experiments, and homework that fits daily routines to build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety and depression. In remote CBT work, the therapist and client review thought records, try small behavioral changes, and track progress between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as needs change. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and shifting emphasis toward the skills that feel most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in-session. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief coaching, in-the-moment support, or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and caregiving schedules while keeping treatment focused on practical, usable tools.
