About Gertrude
Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and family conflict. Gertrude also lists focused concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
She uses practical conversation and goal-oriented work to name the patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions often include mindfulness skills and cognitive techniques to manage intense feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help sorting out goals and making changes that feel realistic.
Gertrude has experience supporting adoptive and foster families and people affected by domestic violence and other traumatic events. She draws on narrative and client-centered approaches to help people tell their story and consider different ways of understanding painful experiences. That can be useful when shame or guilt is part of the picture.
In sessions she focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening boundaries. She also helps people who are caring for others manage caregiver stress and the practical strains of parenting or blended family life.
Her work is described plainly and practically: identify what is happening, try small changes, and notice what helps. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and then follow the site's process to schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gertrude uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and narrative approaches to help people tell and reframe their stories; both methods focus on listening, reflecting, and building clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress, guilt, and shame.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, narrative work, mindfulness practice, or a mix of methods that fits the client's needs.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where the issues occur. The therapist and client can adjust frequency and focus based on how the work is going.
