Gertrude Moore, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Gertrude

Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and family-related concerns. She focuses on clear, practical steps parents and adults can use to cope better and to improve everyday interactions at home.

Her tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at people who need straightforward help during tough times. She brings experience supporting adoptive and foster families and people affected by domestic violence and other traumatic events.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens for patterns that make life harder and then works with each person to try new ways of responding. That can mean learning stress-management tools, practicing different ways to talk about problems, or making a plan for difficult moments. Therapy with her often includes skill-building for anxiety and trauma recovery, plus help addressing family conflict and parenting strain.

She uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to fit individual needs. The focus stays practical: small changes that add up over weeks and months. Her style is strengths-based and trauma-informed.

She centers the person’s priorities and supports choices that feel doable. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, set healthier boundaries, and improve communication within family roles. People seeking help for attachment issues, blended family challenges, abandonment or foster care concerns will find direct experience reflected in her work.

She also addresses forgiveness, guilt, isolation, life purpose, and women’s issues in an accessible way.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you set goals that matter to you. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to sort through family or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tests small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and practical coping strategies you can try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and relaxation practices to reduce reactivity. These skills pair well with work on trauma, grief, or daily stressors and can make tense moments feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits your situation rather than applying one fixed method.

Confirm session options before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people choose online therapy for its flexibility - it can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, and daily routines. Online work can also reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during busy periods. Ask the therapist about current session logistics when you get matched.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
