About Gertrude
Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and family concerns. Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family challenges, and questions about life purpose.
She has supported people impacted by domestic violence and other traumatic events. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and helps identify small, practical steps forward. She uses clear, direct techniques to teach coping skills for anxiety and stress and to work through grief and trauma reactions.
Gertrude draws on Client-Centered methods to focus on each person's concerns, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Work often includes improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and reducing caregiver and parenting stress. She can support adoptive and foster caregivers with the particular strains those roles bring. When trauma is part of the picture, sessions tend to move at a pace that prioritizes stabilization and skill building.
Her style is straightforward and practical. People who feel stuck after a relationship change, a career shift, or a loss will find focused work on what matters next. To begin, readers are invited to complete the site's matching steps to schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gertrude uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the client brings to each session, helping people name their priorities and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes, which often fits well with online conversations and homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and anxiety and can be taught in-session for daily use.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skills with narrative work or emphasizing motivational interviewing to help clarify next steps. The fit is decided together rather than assumed upfront.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, note that many people find virtual meetings easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and they can make it simpler to check in when life is busy. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Confirm the available session formats during the matching and scheduling steps.
