About Gwen
Gwen Bartran is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She blends practical, person-focused care with mindfulness and narrative work to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Mindfulness Therapy ideas to improve relationships with self and others.
How Gwen works
Her style is calm and steady, focused on real-life changes rather than jargon. She has long experience supporting people with eating-related concerns, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue. Gwen also works with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and helps people manage panic, anger, and low self-esteem.
She brings a practical focus to career and life-purpose questions as well. Therapy with Gwen often involves talking through difficult memories, practicing mind-body awareness, and telling new stories about past events. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and increase day-to-day functioning.
She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace. Gwen practices from Colorado and conducts sessions in English. She offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Gwen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered principles shape her work as well, offering empathic listening and support while the person sets the pace and goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gwen treats the selection of methods as a team effort, adjusting techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will talk through options and try different tools until something feels helpful and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and text or chat can be useful for quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, and travel.
