About Wallace
Dr. Wallace "Dent" Gitchel helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, or major life changes. He is an LPC practicing in Arkansas who frames work around compassion and practical tools.
Dent aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for daily life. He uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to meet specific needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression.
How Wallace works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making values-based choices even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based ideas help explore how early relationships affect current patterns. Dent describes his stance as warm and accepting.
He focuses on helping people build self-compassion, find purpose, and practice skills that fit into everyday routines. Sessions emphasize honesty, respect for autonomy, and concrete steps clients can try between sessions. His background includes work across many areas of mental health and a focus on mindfulness practices.
He brings mindfulness and compassion exercises into sessions when they match a person’s goals. That can include short practices to manage stress or tools for staying present during difficult emotions. Therapy can address many concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, chronic illness, codependency, personality concerns, and end-of-life counseling.
Dent aims to collaborate on goals and help people leave sessions with clear next steps. He speaks English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Online approaches that emphasize values and presence
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices and short exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment, which supports stress reduction and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. Sessions may mix approaches over time so people can try different tools and keep what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions can be easier when limited bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals.
