I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in helping adults and older adults navigate workplace stress, family challenges, and emotional wellbeing. My areas of focus include career burnout, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce, caregiving stress, and cross-cultural adjustment.

I believe every person carries an inner strength that can be uncovered and nurtured. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share your story, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hi, I’m Gisselle. I work with women and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions — especially during seasons that feel overwhelming or uncertain. Many of my clients are trying to hold everything together on the outside, while internally feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward.

With a background in public service and years of experience supporting people from all walks of life, I bring a deep sense of compassion and understanding to the work we do together. Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and easy to open up to.

Therapist

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakeland

Finding the right therapist for postpartum care in Lakeland starts with identifying a licensed provider who has experience with perinatal mental health. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common complications of pregnancy, and working with a provider who understands these conditions can make a meaningful difference. Look for a therapist or psychiatrist with experience in evidence-informed approaches for postpartum mental health, and ask a qualified provider which type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also discuss general treatment options alongside talk therapy and help you decide on next steps.

Lakeland and the surrounding Polk County area have a range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can be time-consuming as a new parent. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone with a specific therapeutic approach, or a provider close to your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Lakeland can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
