About Wallace

Dr. Wallace "Dent" Gitchel offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. He presents a calm, steady presence and focuses on helping clients notice what matters and take small, useful steps forward.

Dent emphasizes compassion and purpose in his work and aims to teach skills people can use between sessions. He holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and practices in Arkansas.

Background and approach

His background includes meditation training and many years of teaching mindfulness and compassion practices. That experience informs how he helps people regulate emotions and stay present during hard moments. In sessions he blends evidence-based methods with a warm, accepting stance.

He uses approaches like acceptance and commitment work, attachment-informed ideas, client-centered support, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to address issues such as grief, trauma, addiction, family concerns, and struggles with meaning and identity. Dent keeps things practical.

He offers concrete strategies for coping, communication, and managing difficult feelings. He also encourages exploration of values and purpose so changes last beyond the therapy hour. People considering therapy can expect a straightforward, respectful partnership focused on goals and usable skills.

His aim is to help people build more self-compassion, clearer direction, and everyday practices that support lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating; it is often used for intimacy, family, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the person's own growth and choices.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods in a collaborative way. That shared planning helps tailor sessions so they match real-life needs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls recreate an in-person feel, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging can provide shorter, more flexible check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work days, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on skills, values, and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
