About Gayle

Gayle DuBois is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, social anxiety, abandonment issues, and concerns common in young adults. Gayle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create practical, goal-oriented plans.

She emphasizes collaborative problem solving and clear, actionable steps that clients can use between sessions. Her counseling style centers on identifying patterns that maintain distress and then testing small, achievable changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Clients can expect an approach grounded in experience and focused on measurable progress. Gayle frames change as a process that begins with a deliberate decision to try something different, and she supports clients in working steadily toward the outcomes they value.

Approach and Access: CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Gayle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often involves identifying specific patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, or eating-related problems and practicing concrete skills to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by narrowing attention to goals and resources, helping people build on strengths and set small, achievable steps toward meaningful change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gayle discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors techniques from CBT and solution-focused work to meet individual needs, adjusting strategies as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice skills between meetings, while allowing clients to connect from their home or other convenient locations.
