Lenore Gray, LPC

Lenore Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses cognitive behavioral methods alongside other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and aims to offer practical tools that fit everyday life. Lenore brings 16 years of clinical experience and a compassionate, down-to-earth presence.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to address how values, emotions, and relationship histories influence choices. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings, not just talk.

Lenore has long experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, communication problems, and addictions including process addictions. She helps people work through family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and midlife or life-purpose concerns. Practical coping strategies are paired with attention to emotions and relationships.

Her background includes a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families over many years, bringing both professional training and personal life experience to sessions.

Lenore lives in Texas and offers therapy in English. Outside of work she enjoys walking in nature, gardening, sewing, art, and spending time with her grandchildren. Her style is warm, straightforward, and focused on usable change.

Practical approaches adapted for online care

Lenore commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to practice new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessive thinking, and many everyday problems where changing behavior and thinking brings relief.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when unpleasant feelings arise. This approach helps with stress, life changes, and making choices that match what matters to a person. Attachment-Based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and improve communication and emotional connection when past hurts affect current relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend ways to combine CBT, ACT, or attachment strategies. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for more interactive skill work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping treatment focused on practical change.
