Gayle DuBois, LPC

Gayle DuBois is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people handle stress, anxiety, and life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work to help clients gain skills they can use day to day. Gayle often supports people dealing with depression, grief, parenting challenges, eating and food-related issues, and ADHD-related concerns.

She brings 27 years of experience to therapy. That background includes work with young people early in her career and many years supporting adults through transitions and emotional struggles. Gayle’s approach centers on practical steps clients can take between sessions to notice thoughts, test habits, and try new responses.

Gayle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that drive upsetting feelings and replace them with more helpful behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins toward those goals. Sessions are collaborative and task-oriented, with a focus on what the person wants to change.

In the room she prioritizes clear plans over abstract theory. That can mean breaking big problems into small experiments or building routines that reduce overwhelm. She pays attention to how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior, and she helps people practice alternative responses.

Choosing therapy can feel hard. Gayle encourages a step-by-step approach and works with each person to match strategies to their life and goals.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Gayle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to change patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want to change; progress is tracked session to session.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan if needed rather than sticking to one method.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in the settings where problems occur, and it can simplify scheduling around work, school, or childcare commitments. Licensed professionals, including this LPC, will discuss how to structure sessions so they meet each person’s needs.
