About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Her practice notes also mention concerns such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, attachment problems, and substance concerns.
Gardner keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people name the problem and set practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are often used to spot patterns in thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.
She draws on existential and Jungian ideas when people want to talk about meaning, identity, and long-standing life patterns. These approaches can help with questions about roles and commitments within a changing household. Conversations often cover communication, boundaries, and decision-making when lives and routines are being reorganized.
Quencina frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify small, achievable changes and practice them between sessions. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what is working.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Quencina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their thoughts and goals. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation and coping strategies are needed. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress in the moment. These approaches are chosen to match the issue at hand and the client's goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist and client review needs, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
