About Geralyn
Dr. Geralyn Dexter is a Florida LMHC with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. Sessions address mood disorders, panic, ADHD, and relationship and family-related issues.
She uses a mix of practical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. That often means small behavior changes, clearer choices, and learning skills to manage strong feelings.
Her background includes work in intensive outpatient settings, in-home therapy, private practice, and startup environments. That variety brings experience with addiction support, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and co-occurring conditions. She has also worked with concerns such as guilt, shame, isolation, and workplace stress.
Typical work focuses on short to mid-length therapy goals and skills practice between sessions. Conversations cover coping strategies, communication problems, and practical plans for change. When relevant, sessions include motivational interviewing to address substance use and commitment-based approaches for values-driven choices.
People looking for therapy can expect a direct, collaborative style. The therapist helps identify priorities, teaches concrete tools, and checks progress along the way. To begin, clients use the site matching process and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online ACT sessions help people choose meaningful steps and practice them between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT often includes brief exercises and worksheets to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced in daily life, with coaching on skill use discussed during appointments.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That recommendation can change as progress is checked and new needs emerge. It’s a collaborative process aimed at finding what helps you make steady, practical changes.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between appointments when sessions are scheduled around daily life rather than requiring extra travel.
