About Gigi
Gigi Muir is a licensed professional clinical counselor with nearly three decades of experience. She brings steady, practical care to people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life changes. Her tone is relaxed and down-to-earth, and she focuses on clear, attainable steps rather than long talks that go in circles.
Before working online she spent many years in addiction treatment and ten years at a community mental health agency. That mix gave her a broad view of common struggles and of how day-to-day challenges affect mood and relationships.
Background and approach
She draws on those years when helping people set simple goals and try new habits. In sessions she listens first and then helps clients find small, workable changes. The approach is often solution-focused and practical, with tools pulled from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness work when they fit.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support people making tough changes. People meet her and get straightforward suggestions they can use between sessions. She pays attention to how stress and communication shape problems like low self-esteem, parenting strain, and anger.
Her aim is to help people build coping skills and make steady progress toward clearer goals. Gigi works as an Ohio LPCC - that is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and provides services in English. She has experience addressing many concerns including mood disorders, panic, addictions, family problems, and grief around life transitions.
Practical approaches for online care
Gigi commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small changes and practical steps a person can try right away to feel better and move toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try methods that suit your situation, adjusting the plan as you see what helps. The work is practical and goal-oriented, and she checks in regularly to make sure the direction fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work, school, and family life. These formats make it easier to use tools from CBT and solution-focused work between meetings, and they let people practice new skills in real time. Many find the range of options helps fit therapy into a busy schedule and supports steady progress.
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.
