Quencina Gardner, LPC

Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with six years of experience. She offers one-on-one counseling focused on anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and trauma. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

Gardner creates a space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life strategies rather than jargon. She listens first, then helps clients map out small changes they can try between meetings.

Her work draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought patterns that contribute to distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own experience and priorities.

She also uses parts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Existential and Jungian ideas may be woven in for clients wanting deeper meaning or exploration of life transitions like midlife change.

Gardner often helps people deal with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also supports those facing addiction, divorce, aging concerns, or the emotional aftermath of disasters. The goal is practical relief and clearer direction.

If someone wants to begin, they choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice that means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that matter in daily life. This approach can help with midlife questions, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because the tools are practical and easy to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when someone needs steady coping techniques and clearer ways to handle conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up homework to be reviewed between visits. Talk with the therapist during the initial matching step to learn which session options are available and what will best fit your routine.
