About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She provides compassionate, professional care for people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She encourages clients to take the first step and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens closely and helps people clarify what matters most to them.
Gardner uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective work. That can include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on client-centered principles to follow each person's pace and priorities.
For people facing major life shifts or traumatic events, she offers steady support and coping skills. She can work with issues such as caregiving stress, addiction concerns, family of origin problems, and adjusting to change. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one area she lists among her focuses.
Sessions are framed around the client's goals. Gardner helps people set small, doable steps and checks in on progress. She urges people to be patient with themselves while making real changes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The process is meant to be simple so people can start work on the problems that matter to them.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening without judgment, and helping clients name their priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful when sorting out relationship concerns, life changes, or feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication when feelings run high.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust as those goals change. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's listed approaches translate well to remote work because they can combine skill practice, conversation, and homework between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools to suit each client's schedule and needs.
