About Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn Cane is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Gwendolyn uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people notice what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, CBT to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and solution-focused work to set short-term, practical goals. Sessions are grounded in real problems and next-step actions rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She has worked in intensive in-home care, outpatient clinics, and inpatient settings. That mix of environments shaped skills for crisis response, ongoing therapy, and practical coping strategies.
Gwendolyn has experience with women’s issues, perinatal mental health, addictions, grief work, and adolescents from past roles. She emphasizes clear communication about goals and progress, and she partners with clients on small, measurable steps toward change. Her approach aims to help people move into the next phase of life with more clarity and manageable tools.

How different approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a respectful working relationship. It helps when someone needs to clarify values, process emotions, and feel heard during big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns common after school, in new jobs, or during relationship shifts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication. These skills are often useful for managing strong emotions, anger, and relationship conflict.
Picking an approach is a collaborative process. Gwendolyn will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what works best. The first sessions typically focus on what matters most and on simple, practical steps that can be used between meetings.
