About Quencina

Quencina Gardner is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma and abuse, and support for people coping with life changes. She speaks English and works with adults presenting these concerns. Gardner uses several therapy approaches to help people manage current problems and make practical changes. Sessions are conversational and centered on the client's concerns. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective and goals. When relationships or communication cause strain, Gardner helps people name interaction patterns and try different ways of relating. For those facing grief, loss of direction, or major transitions, she applies existential and Jungian ideas to examine values and personal meaning. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when strong emotions or intense reactions create distress. Her style emphasizes clear steps and achievable goals. She helps people build coping strategies for stress and problems with substance use, codependency, caregiver strain, and family-of-origin issues. Gardner also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns or the fallout from disasters. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation centered on the persons priorities and goals, and help build a plan from the client's own concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes short between-session exercises and concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will review clients' needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue regular work on skills between meetings. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your schedule.
