About Gail
Gail Amalfitano is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people sort through painful and confusing life moments. She uses a person-centered style and draws on several approaches to help people gain clarity and move forward. Gail works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.
She takes a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. Gail listens to what matters most to each person and tailors the work to fit their needs.
Background and approach
She often combines Existential ideas about meaning with practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based strategies. Gail provides reading suggestions, short videos, and handouts when those resources will help learning between sessions. She uses problem-solving, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques alongside teaching about emotions and behavior.
That mix helps people learn new ways to respond to stress, relationships, grief, and self-doubt. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family stress, career questions, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and complex concerns such as codependency or attachment issues. She also supports people managing sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue.
With nine years of experience, Gail brings steady support and practical options to sessions. She encourages honest feedback so the work can shift as needs change. Gail holds licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and as a Licensed Professional Counselor and practices in Florida.

Online support
Integrating approach and access with online therapy
Gail draws on Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, freedom, and values when life feels confusing. It is useful for those wrestling with identity, life purpose, or big transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck and taking action that matches personal values. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Gail treats approach selection as a shared decision. She listens to goals and preferences, suggests options, and adjusts techniques over time so the work fits each person. Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls give a face-to-face feel for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick questions, brief coaching, or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
