About Gavin

Gavin Chadwell is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont who assists people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on a mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients build practical skills for managing mood, improving sleep, addressing anger and intimacy-related issues, and strengthening self-esteem and career coping strategies. With ten years of clinical experience, he has also worked with those navigating ADHD and compassion fatigue, supporting clients through transitions and complex emotional reactions.

Gavin emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes an individual’s own strengths while teaching concrete tools. He integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Prospective clients can expect an approachable, nonjudgmental space where treatment focuses on practical steps, skill-building, and steady progress toward goals. His practice accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How Gavin Integrates Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Gavin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based methods in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, offering clear, skill-based exercises clients can practice between sessions. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and emotions, which can be helpful for stress, rumination, sleep problems, and managing strong feelings.

He also uses client-centered principles to shape the therapeutic relationship, creating a collaborative atmosphere where goals, pacing, and techniques are decided together. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and the therapist works with each person to tailor methods to their needs, preferences, and goals rather than insisting on a single pathway.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexibility in how and when people connect. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate geographic distance, and allow clients to choose the mode of interaction that feels most comfortable while working on practical skills and emotional supports.
