About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Scrutchins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She previously worked in correctional settings and brings that background to her current counseling work. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Her approach to therapy is straightforward and respectful. She listens actively and responds with empathy while avoiding labels or assumptions.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a mix of evidence-based techniques and thoughtful conversation about real-life challenges. Gwendolyn also supports people coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, sleep problems, parenting strain, and major life changes. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of the work when relationship or intimacy issues are central. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be offered for people processing traumatic memories. Gwendolyn has experience writing treatment plans, progress notes, and administrative reports tied to therapeutic care.
That background informs a focused, organized approach to treatment. She aims to help clients build skills, shift behaviors, and find clearer ways to manage emotions. People who choose her often want practical strategies and a direct, compassionate clinician.
She conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for flexible scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions because it focuses on small, meaningful behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and substance use because it teaches specific skills to test and change thoughts and routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or another method like Emotionally-Focused Therapy or EMDR is a better fit, and they adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less data and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for scheduling and let people continue work between sessions.
