About Gail
LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) in North Carolina with 21 years of clinical experience, Gail Courtright focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, relationships, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She works mainly with adult women navigating life transitions and uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Gail helps people talk through current problems and set practical goals. She uses straightforward conversation and techniques from CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change, especially around addictions and habits.
Sessions are focused on what a person wants to change next. Solution-Focused Therapy methods are used to build small, testable steps toward those goals. Gail also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's values and perspective.
Her approach emphasizes clear options and concrete skills rather than long talks without direction. She helps people practice new ways of coping so they can handle stress and transitions more confidently. Gail works in English and is based in North Carolina.

Therapeutic approaches used in virtual sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what the person brings up, helping them clarify values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gail will review a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She treats this as a collaborative decision and will adjust methods as progress and priorities change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. They also let people use simpler options when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Ask about the exact formats available when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine.
