Gail Amalfitano, LMHC, LPC

Gail Amalfitano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Gail leans on person-centered practice and uses clear, practical strategies in sessions. She listens first, gathers the facts, and then works with each person to set goals. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge negative thinking and dialectical behavior tools to build emotion regulation skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and attachment-focused thinking also shape her work when those approaches match a client's needs.

In sessions Gail often combines short-term techniques with skills practice. She shares reading suggestions, short videos, worksheets, and exercises to use between meetings. Sessions can include problem solving, role practice around communication, and step-by-step plans to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or daily routines.

Gail says counseling is partly teaching and partly listening. She encourages honest feedback so the work adjusts as needs change. Her focus is on helping people reduce distress, rebuild routines, and improve how they relate to others.
