Gayle DuBois, LPC

Gayle DuBois is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience in Oklahoma. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those facing eating concerns, depression, or difficult life changes. Gayle practices in English and draws on long experience with a range of concerns related to mood, behavior, and adjustment.

Her work emphasizes practical steps people can take right away. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear goals and try small changes that build forward momentum.

Gayle has spent many years working in settings that involved children, adolescents, and family-related issues, and that background shapes how she thinks about parenting and young adult concerns. She addresses topics such as grief, relationship strain, self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and trauma or abuse history in a straightforward way.

Sessions typically focus on identifying one or two manageable goals, trying hands-on strategies between visits, and checking what worked. She frames change as a process and talks about realistic steps rather than quick fixes. People who prefer focused, goal-oriented work often find this approach useful.

If someone is unsure how therapy might fit their life, Gayle encourages a brief conversation to match goals and availability. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Gayle’s approaches work online

Gayle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practice small changes that reduce anxious or depressive symptoms. CBT is often used for panic, social anxiety, obsessive worries, and patterns around eating and mood.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to define clear, short-term goals and identify steps that move someone toward those goals. This approach is useful when a person wants concrete progress and quicker, targeted change efforts.

Finding the right method is collaborative. Gayle will work with clients to choose which approaches fit best based on goals, preferences, and how they respond to early sessions. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist to learn what session arrangements are offered and which will best match daily routines and goals.
