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 focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sleep problems, coping with life changes, coaching, eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Gunjani also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with other methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people name and work with difficult emotions. She also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas and EMDR when trauma or intense distress are part of the picture.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Gunjani aims to help people notice patterns, name underlying emotions, and try different ways of responding. She offers coaching-style support for career and confidence goals alongside therapeutic work for trauma and mood concerns.

Gunjani draws on many years of clinical practice to guide treatment choices. She explains options in everyday language and helps clients weigh what feels most useful. That makes sessions easier to follow for people juggling busy lives or big changes.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and patterns that keep coming up in relationships and everyday life. In an online session this often means using focused conversation to track moments when emotions shift and to practice new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports small values-based actions people can try between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns show up now, and online work can include mapping those patterns and rehearsing different ways of relating. The therapist will talk with each person about which approach or combination fits best, based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into weekdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera during a check-in, or schedule sessions that match a work break. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and pacing during the matching and first session so therapy fits into everyday life.
