Gertrude Moore

Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents around anxiety, trauma, grief, family conflict, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care issues and by domestic violence.

Her style centers on listening and working together to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, building practical coping skills, and improving communication. She uses clear, straightforward language so people know what to try between appointments.

Gertrude draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to address anxiety and stress with concrete exercises. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult stories and find different ways to describe themselves after loss or trauma.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing when clients want to make changes but feel stuck. Mindfulness approaches are used to manage overwhelming emotions and stay present during difficult moments. These methods are mixed to match the situation presented in session.

People seeking help for parenting stress, attachment or blended family issues will find a focus on communication and practical strategies. Gertrude works with common challenges like guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her aim is to produce steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on your priorities and the things you bring to the session. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps you set the agenda for each meeting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to turn stressful thoughts into actionable steps. Online sessions can include working through simple worksheets, setting practice tasks, and reviewing progress week to week to reduce anxiety and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These skills can be practiced during sessions and assigned as brief daily exercises to help manage overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Gertrude will help you figure out which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and first session so scheduling matches everyday routines.
