Gayle DuBois, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Gayle

Gayle DuBois is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on families and parenting concerns. She works with children, adolescents, and family members to address stressful life changes. She listens first and helps parents and caregivers find clear next steps they can try at home.

Her straightforward style is aimed at busy families who want practical ways to improve daily life. Gayle uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.

Background and approach

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, reachable goals and build on what already works. Sessions are centered on simple strategies families can practice between meetings. With 27 years of experience in Oklahoma, Gayle has supported people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, eating and food-related issues, and challenges like abandonment and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

She also addresses parenting questions, self-esteem, ADHD, and young adult issues. Her background includes long-term work with kids and teens alongside their families. In sessions she emphasizes choice and active effort.

Conversations focus on what to try next rather than long recaps of the past. Gayle helps families identify realistic goals and tracks progress in clear, measurable steps. Parents who want direct guidance and simple, evidence-based techniques may find her approach useful.

Her work aims to make everyday life easier for kids and caregivers. She offers appointments online by video, phone, chat, or text to fit family schedules.

Online approaches that fit family life

Gayle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help families notice how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior; this approach teaches simple skills for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows attention to clear goals and small changes that can be tried right away to improve daily routines and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gayle collaborates with parents and caregivers to decide which methods match the family’s needs and goals. She checks in on what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan together so progress feels realistic and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions can fit tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing school, work, and family time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
