About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in California and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep problems, life transitions, eating concerns, compassion fatigue and related issues. Gunjani also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control struggles, dissociation, and reactions to separation or divorce.
Her approach mixes practical therapy methods with focused talk work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-Centered methods guide conversations so clients feel heard and steering their own goals.
Gunjani also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy strategies for relationship and attachment concerns. For trauma, she includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where appropriate. These are clinical tools she brings into session rather than guarantees of any outcome.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, short-term goals like reducing panic attacks, improving sleep, managing anxiety, or improving communication. She includes coaching elements for career and confidence work when useful. Gunjani will help identify practical steps and small experiments clients can try between meetings.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based action. Online ACT work often includes short experiments, mindfulness exercises, and clear behavioral goals to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication; online sessions can focus on recognizing those patterns and practicing new ways of relating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people in identifying and shifting emotional responses in close relationships. In remote sessions this can mean using structured conversations and guided exercises to practice expressing needs and reading partners' responses, or individual work to understand attachment reactions. These approaches aim to be collaborative - the therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust plans together with the client based on what helps most.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a college schedule, a first job, or busy weekdays because it cuts down travel time and lets clients meet from a convenient location. Some formats need less bandwidth or camera use and can be a shorter check-in when time is tight. Ask about current session options and any practical arrangements when you schedule.
