Laynie Gibson, a skilled Counselor and LMHC, is dedicated to the art of therapy as an active collaboration and journey of discovery. She works with adults to explore their current patterns, uncovering how these may support their happiness or contribute to distress. Laynie understands that distress often manifests in repetitive patterns—whether in coping mechanisms, self-esteem, or relationships. She identifies that common psychological symptoms, like anxiety and depression, are frequently intertwined with the ways individuals relate to themselves, the world, and others. Her belief is that each client is the expert on their own experience. By pinpointing underlying patterns, Laynie guides her clients in developing new methods of interaction within their environments and with those around them. Specializing in individual therapy, she is particularly attuned to issues related to anxiety, relationship dynamics, and LGBTQ+ identity, helping individuals enhance their lives and relationships while gaining deeper self-awareness. Recognizing that everyone has automatic patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, Laynie fosters insight into these aspects to facilitate impactful changes. A trusting therapeutic relationship is essential; hence, she encourages potential clients to engage with her for an initial consultation, allowing them the time to ask questions and articulate their goals, setting the stage for meaningful progress.
