Gunjani Patel-Oza, LPCC, LMHC

Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed mental health professional with 17 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and issues related to self-esteem and professional coaching. She holds the LPCC credential - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and is credentialed to practice in California and Florida. Her practice focuses on practical, client-tailored strategies to address sleep problems, coping with life changes, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of relationship and attachment issues.

Gunjani approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around individual needs and goals. She works with people facing abandonment and attachment concerns, communication and control difficulties, dissociation, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, panic and phobias, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Gunjani recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and welcomes the opportunity to partner with clients as they take that first step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and healing

Gunjani Patel-Oza uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, notice unhelpful thought patterns, and take meaningful action toward goals even when difficult emotions are present. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation-related concerns.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This work can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and improving communication and intimacy.

For trauma-related symptoms, Gunjani may draw on EMDR principles to support processing of distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. EMDR is often used with people who have experienced post-traumatic stress or other trauma reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gunjani will work with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and allow clients to access therapy from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit sessions into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
