About Gigi
Gigi Muir is an Ohio LPCC with 28 years of counseling experience. She has spent much of her career supporting people facing addiction and mood concerns, and also worked for a decade in community mental health. Gigi offers straightforward, practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Her style is relaxed and direct. She listens closely and focuses on solutions the client can try between sessions. Sessions often include clear steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Gigi uses approaches that fit the person and the problem. She mixes client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to address addictive behavior, worry, low mood, and motivation for change. Mindfulness and brief solution-focused techniques are used when helpful to build coping skills and small wins.
People who prefer practical guidance and a calm, no-frills approach tend to do well with her. She helps people who struggle with setting limits, codependency patterns, family stress, and workplace pressure to get clearer about what they want and try new behaviors.
Sessions will look like a focused conversation with concrete suggestions and homework you can try between appointments. Gigi aims to help people identify small changes that lead to clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better daily routines.
How sessions work
How Gigi uses therapeutic methods online
Gigi draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means conversations focused on the client's concerns, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can find their own goals. CBT provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change addictive behaviors or improve daily routines. That approach involves asking focused questions, highlighting strengths, and helping people identify their own reasons for change. Together these approaches aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out what fits a client's needs, goals, and style through early sessions and ongoing check-ins. This collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques that match real-life demands.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets therapists share written tools and homework between appointments to reinforce progress.
