About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sleep difficulties, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and feelings of guilt and shame.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still choose meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas guide work on patterns that come from early relationships. Client-centered principles shape a conversational, person-focused style.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and connection problems and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the picture. Those tools are used alongside conversation and coaching to clarify goals and make step-by-step changes. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels.
People who come for help might be dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, control or communication problems, dissociation, divorce, or post-traumatic stress. She also supports folks coping with postpartum depression, panic, phobias, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Gunjani aims to tailor sessions based on what each person brings. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are discussed.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions typically focus on short exercises, mindfulness practices, and concrete behavioral steps to reduce the hold of shame or guilt.Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. In remote sessions this work often involves mapping patterns, naming triggers, and practicing new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit the client's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needs change. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows for exercises, reflective writing, and in-session coaching that move progress into daily life without promising specific outcomes.
