About Gigi
Gigi Muir is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with nearly three decades of experience in mental health work. She has spent much of her career in addiction services and ten years at a community mental health agency. Gigi writes in a relaxed, straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel calm and manageable.
She listens carefully and focuses on practical steps people can try between visits. Sessions tend to be solution-focused with attention to what is working now and what small changes might help. Gigi often helps people manage anxiety, stress, panic-related concerns, and mood changes.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and motivational interviewing when substance use or behavior change is involved. This mix supports clear goals and steady progress.
Gigi works with common life stresses such as parenting strain, career uncertainty, relationship tension, grief, and transitions. She also addresses longstanding issues like trauma, codependency, and phobias in a steady, task-oriented way. Clients who prefer a calm, practical therapist may find her style fits well.
Over the years she has guided people dealing with addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. She encourages people to set realistic goals and to practice small, doable strategies between sessions. Gigi aims to help people build skills they can use outside therapy.
Approaches used online and how they help
Gigi uses client-centered listening to begin each conversation. This means the work starts by understanding what matters most to the person and shaping goals around their priorities. It helps people feel heard and keeps therapy grounded in real-life concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, panic-related symptoms, and low mood by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gigi will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made or new concerns arise.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also make it simpler to follow through on homework like mindfulness practice or behavioral experiments between sessions. Licensed professionals adapt their tools to work well in remote settings, and the focus remains on practical steps that can be used in everyday life.
