About Gertrude
Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings six years of practice helping people cope with anxiety, grief, trauma, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Her background includes work with adoptive and foster families and people affected by domestic violence. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be honest about what they are facing.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation to identify patterns that get in the way. Sessions often focus on stress management, better communication, setting boundaries, and building coping skills. Gertrude draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness techniques are part of her work when people want skills to reduce anxious moments and to stay grounded. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes or needs support finding the next step. Narrative Therapy can help people reframe painful stories, including issues tied to abandonment or attachment.
Gertrude describes her style as compassionate and collaborative. She will listen first, then work with each person to set realistic goals and practical steps. Her experience with adoption and foster care matters shows up as informed, respectful attention to complex family dynamics.
People choosing therapy with her will find a focus on doable tools and clearer communication. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with the pace set by the person's needs.
How Gertrude’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Gertrude integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in clear, usable ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple tools to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach short practices that reduce strong emotions and increase focus. Mindfulness techniques can be simple breathing or grounding exercises that someone can practice between sessions to manage anxiety or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will review what’s helping and what to change as therapy progresses.
