About Gillian
Gillian Murray is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people through emotional challenges. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her approach is calm and straightforward, with a focus on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Gillian keeps sessions grounded and respectful. She listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling. From there she helps create small, doable plans to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.
How Gillian works
Her style is collaborative. She partners with each person to set goals and tries different strategies until something fits. She values each person's strengths and uses those strengths to support change.
Over a long career in Florida, Gillian has worked with many people who needed support through transitions and persistent worries. That experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. She aims for clear, practical work rather than clinical language.
Sessions can include short skill practice, problem-solving, and reflection on patterns that keep problems going. Gillian helps people track small wins and adjust plans as life shifts. The focus is on helping people feel more capable and steady over time.

Approaches and online therapy options
Gillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on building concrete coping skills and routines to manage stress and daily overwhelm, useful when life changes feel destabilizing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gillian works with each person to understand their goals, stresses, and preferences, and then tries methods that fit. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so therapy remains useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules.
