About Octavia
Octavia Gallon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and ADHD. She also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She aims to make conversations direct and practical. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what keeps difficult feelings going and finding small, manageable changes. She uses clear tools and steps rather than long theoretical explanations.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside solution-focused strategies. That means she looks at thoughts and behaviors that feed distress, brings attention to present-moment experience, and sets short-term goals to build momentum.
Octavia describes working with people who face family and relationship stress, blended family concerns, caregiver strain, and life changes such as separation or loss. She also addresses control issues, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
In sessions she will co-create a plan that fits the client's situation and goals. Expect practical techniques, check-ins on progress, and adjustments as needed. Her background in clinical psychology informs a structured approach while keeping conversations straightforward and focused on real-life problems.
Approaches used in online sessions
Octavia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside CBT to help people notice thoughts and sensations without reacting to them, which can reduce rumination and support steadier moods.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to one rigid method up front.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth, which helps keep therapy practical within everyday life.
