Quencina Gardner, LPC

Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of experience. She focuses on practical, everyday help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.

Quencina keeps sessions focused on immediate problems and workable steps. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that make things harder. She also brings client-centered listening to help people name what matters to them and feel respected while they work through difficult feelings.

For people coping with caregiving burdens, aging concerns, blended family issues, or separation and divorce, she helps set clear goals and small actions. She also supports those dealing with substance concerns, codependency, attachment wounds, or family-of-origin problems. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach can include skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and grounding practices that draw on existential and Jungian ideas about meaning and identity. Sessions are practical and conversational, with tools to use between meetings.

Quencina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Sessions are available in English and run through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches that focus on change and meaning

Quencina uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into steps and building new habits.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s experience. That means sessions begin with open listening and follow the client’s priorities while providing support and validation.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are introduced when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Those skills are practical and teach ways to manage intense feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. This makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text-based messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection. These options help slot therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.
