About &
Dr. & Mrs. Gayle Branson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with seven years of counseling experience. She began her professional life as a pharmacist and brings more than 28 years of healthcare experience to her counseling work. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
She takes a team approach in sessions, working with clients to find what helps them most. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on naming emotions and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-related ideas are part of how she understands relationship and emotional problems.
Her clinical toolbox also includes cognitive behavioral approaches, client-centered methods, existential perspectives, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address thinking patterns, unhelpful behaviors, and core emotional needs that influence choices and relationships. She notes experience helping people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Coming from a healthcare background informs her attention to real-world stressors like caregiving, chronic illness, job changes, and aging concerns. She also works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, blended family concerns, and control struggles.

How her approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It can help when people have trouble saying what they feel or when relationship patterns keep repeating.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing attachments shape expectations and reactions in relationships. This approach is useful for addressing abandonment worries, attachment issues, and patterns that affect communication and trust.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and pace. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports them in making sense of their experiences and choices.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.
