About Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn Scrutchins is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively in correctional settings and brings practical knowledge of mood disorders, substance-related concerns, and trauma to her sessions. Gwendolyn aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and treated without judgment.

Her style centers on active listening and empathy. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent and what small steps might help.

Background and approach

She also values clear communication about treatment planning and progress so people know what to expect. Gwendolyn draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally focused methods. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and techniques for processing trauma when appropriate.

This flexible mix helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than rely on one fixed method. Many people come to her for common concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy struggles, ADHD, and parenting stress.

Gwendolyn pays attention to how life changes, loss, or past hurt can affect daily functioning. In practical terms she is experienced with treatment planning, progress notes, and work that supports measurable goals. Prospective clients will find a therapist who blends direct problem-solving with compassionate listening.

Gwendolyn aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Gwendolyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and clarifies personal values to guide action. ACT can be useful for chronic stress, worry, and coping with life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Sessions aim to combine listening, skill practice, and real-world steps agreed on together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attending easier. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or busy days.
