About Gertrude

Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and grief, and parenting challenges. She also lists blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and problems from domestic violence among her focus areas.

She has worked with adolescents and adults on anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and grief. Her background includes supporting people involved in adoption and foster care systems and those affected by domestic violence. She describes helping people with communication problems, attachment concerns, and caregiving stress.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, with practical steps to manage worries and build coping skills. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas shape how goals and life stories are discussed.

Typical work includes identifying unhelpful patterns, creating straightforward strategies for stress and anxiety, and practicing new ways of communicating. She also supports people processing loss, trauma, shame, or complicated family roles such as stepfamily adjustments. The emphasis is on clear, usable tools rather than long theory talks.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. She offers approaches suited to everyday life problems like juggling parenting strain, navigating blended household dynamics, and coping with isolation or guilt.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Gertrude uses client-centered work to focus sessions on what matters most to the client. That approach centers the person's own goals and preferences and guides the pace of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress, and managing daily routines in a blended household. Mindfulness techniques are also used to build moment-to-moment coping skills and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and comfort. Adjustments are made as the work progresses, so the plan can change based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks. Some approaches, such as CBT exercises and mindfulness practice, translate well to remote sessions and can be used to address blended family routines, co-parenting stress, and everyday communication problems.
