About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strains, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and supports each person who reaches out with steady, practical care.
Gardner keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She encourages people to say what they notice in their bodies and minds, and she listens without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations often include breathing and grounding strategies alongside talk therapy to help with overwhelming feelings. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and somatic-informed practices. That means she pays attention to both thoughts and bodily responses, and then helps clients try small, concrete changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and existential ideas also inform her work when people need emotion regulation tools or help finding personal meaning. Quencina also addresses practical life stresses like caregiver strain, blended family concerns, substance use challenges, and major life transitions. She helps people sort family-of-origin patterns, attachment questions, and communication problems one step at a time.
Sessions are offered in English and take place through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How her approaches work online
Somatic-informed work notices how the body reacts to stress and uses simple movement, breath, and awareness to help reduce physical tension that keeps strong feelings stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people space to tell their story and decide their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to emphasize body-based practices, practical skills, or open-ended reflection so the work fits the client's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and use the format that feels safest and most useful. Licensed professionals can adapt breathing, grounding, and CBT exercises to each format so people can practice between sessions as needed.
