About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also addresses concerns related to aging, attachment, caregiver stress, and substance issues.
Gardner centers sessions on what the client brings each week. She listens for immediate problems and longer patterns that affect daily life. Conversations focus on practical steps and on understanding how past experiences shape current responses.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means people talk through thoughts and habits, then practice skills to manage emotions and improve communication. She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when discussing purpose, identity, and deeper life questions.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Topics often include handling conflict, coping after loss or separation, managing dependence or control issues, and navigating changes in work or health. Gardner helps people notice what gets in the way of clearer choices and then tries small, concrete changes.
People who are feeling stuck after a major change may find the work helpful for sorting priorities and testing new ways of acting. To begin, visitors follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial appointment. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Georgia.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone is feeling. Online sessions using this approach let people speak about their concerns while the therapist follows their lead to highlight priorities and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. In a virtual session that means setting small practice tasks, reviewing results, and adjusting strategies together to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. When used online, DBT skills are taught and rehearsed, then applied to relationship conflict, impulse control, or intense emotional moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single style.
