Claudette Gaynor , LMHC

Claudette Gaynor is a client-centered psychotherapist and an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She approaches therapy with the belief that people are more than their bodies or minds and guides clients toward uncovering their true selves and creating lives aligned with their values. Her work emphasizes self-acceptance and self-compassion, helping clients recognize their inherent worth and cultivate kinder, more supportive internal habits.

Gaynor helps clients identify long-standing beliefs that no longer serve them and supports the development of new beliefs that lead to different choices and behaviors. As a trained mental health therapist, she combines clinical insight with meditation and mindfulness practices that can be woven into daily life to foster greater calm and resilience. Clients are invited to take an active role in their healing through guided exercises and homework designed to reinforce progress between sessions.

She focuses on life-changing transitions and coping with stressors such as trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, career and financial concerns, relationship challenges, and spiritual questions. Gaynor also offers ongoing resources, including around-the-clock support via YouTube tutorials, to complement therapeutic work and help clients build the internal resources needed to heal and create more meaningful lives.
