About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of experience in Mississippi and Louisiana. She works with adults on relationship strain, grief and loss, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, and depression. Her practice also attends to issues that often come up around adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging, blended family dynamics, and codependency.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening in their relationships and daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication, not on jargon. She draws on client-centered therapy to make the client’s priorities central and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and routines that keep problems stuck.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone is weighing next steps or feeling stuck about change. That method helps people find their own reasons for change and build small, doable plans. Gwendolyn’s practice often involves talking through intimacy concerns, communication problems, commitment worries, and the emotional toll of caregiving.
She has worked with veterans and people facing serious health or end-of-life issues, so she is familiar with grief, hospice conversations, and the practical demands caregivers face. Sessions are aimed at clarifying goals, reducing overwhelm, and strengthening everyday coping skills.
Gwendolyn practices in Mississippi and conducts work in English. To start, visitors are asked to use the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's concerns at the center of conversation. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps shape sessions around those priorities. This approach is useful for relationship questions, parenting concerns, and grief where personal goals guide each step.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and practices new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep someone stuck in unhelpful routines.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It uses respectful questions to find the person's own reasons for trying something different and to build small, practical plans that fit daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate on which methods fit the client’s goals and adjust as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide what feels most useful over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from more convenient locations. Ask about current session options when scheduling to match the format to your needs.
