About Quencina

Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of experience. She focuses on supporting people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

She aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. Conversations are meant to be honest and nonjudgmental. The first meetings center on understanding what feels hardest and what the person hopes to change.

In ongoing work she mixes practical skill building with deeper reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools can help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered methods place the person's goals at the center of the plan.

Quencina also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and grounding skills. Existential and Jungian ideas may be used to look at meaning, values, and personal patterns when useful to the client.

She has additional experience addressing caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, codependency, addiction, attachment and family of origin issues. Conversations include setting small, doable goals and practicing new ways of coping between sessions.

To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Session details and costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It emphasizes the person's goals and lets them lead the pace and topics of sessions, which helps when dealing with relationship stress or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Decisions about approaches are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce commute time, and let people meet from different locations within the same state. Licensed professionals adapt CBT and Client-Centered techniques to remote sessions with goal-focused exercises and homework that fit day-to-day life.
