About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Jaussaud Musick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses issues like communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, infidelity, panic attacks, personality disorders, and aging-related concerns.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and solution-focused work. In sessions she helps people name and track strong emotions, notice interaction patterns, and try new ways of responding. For couples she draws on Gottman ideas and EFT to look at how partners reconnect and manage conflict.
Work with her often includes straightforward skills practice and short experiments between sessions. She helps clients learn breathing and grounding skills for panic and intense emotion, and uses practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented when people want that approach.
Gwendolyn has experience supporting structured separations and guiding couples toward creating new habits. She also sees individuals coping with grief, trauma-related stress, parenting challenges, and personality-related difficulties. She blends emotion-focused work with evidence-based strategies to address both feelings and day-to-day functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in Colorado. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the practice's online process.
How EFT, CBT, and DBT translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and on changing interaction patterns between partners or within an individual’s close relationships. It can help people recognize what they feel and how that feeling shapes their responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better emotion regulation in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean prioritizing emotion-focused work for relationship patterns or using CBT and DBT skills for panic and anxiety. Decisions are made together and can change as needs shift.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to practice skills in the environments where problems often occur. The therapist and client will discuss practical logistics and choose an approach that fits the client’s life and goals.
