About Gwen

Gwen Zorc is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and life changes. Gwen aims to help clients build practical skills and improve daily functioning.

She draws on tools that encourage steady progress rather than quick fixes. Gwen uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to address painful memories and unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

She also brings a client-centered stance, listening first and shaping the work around each person’s goals. Sessions may include focused skill practice, guided reflection, and steps to change routines. Her training includes a master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University and a bachelor’s degree from Barry University.

To become licensed in Florida she completed over 2,000 post-graduate supervised hours. Her credential is FL LMHC MH12661. Gwen often combines therapeutic tools with creative elements like art and nature exercises.

She uses a 10-step wellness check to track habits and balance over time. This mix of practical strategies and creative options is meant to help clients move toward clearer choices and better daily routines. She offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How Gwen’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities; the therapist follows the client’s lead and builds goals together, which helps when someone needs time to name what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change them, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured method for processing painful memories and reducing their emotional charge when trauma is involved.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gwen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and daily life. The variety also lets people use more active formats for skill practice or quieter options for check-ins, depending on what feels most helpful.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
