About Octavia
Octavia Gallon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - based in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, parenting pressures, anger, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps to make daily life more manageable and to clarify what matters next.
She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods to help people sort through grief, motivation difficulties, and feelings of emptiness. Octavia aims to create clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lists of abstract ideas. People leave sessions with specific strategies they can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, actionable goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit when past events are affecting current functioning.
Octavia frames work around what a person wants to accomplish next. She discusses communication skills, boundary-setting, and practical coping tactics for anger or impulsivity. Caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and issues around attachment or abandonment are included when clients bring them up.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect the client’s day-to-day realities. People who want to begin select the online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Octavia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together, then work on small changes that can ease stress and anxiety. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice habits of thinking and to practice present-moment attention, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as brief goal-setting and action steps aimed at immediate, practical change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose or combine methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Therapists in this field use these methods to address anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, caregiver stress, and symptoms of ADHD while keeping sessions focused on practical next steps.
