About Geralyn
Dr. Geralyn Dexter is a Florida LMHC with 14 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and anger. Her work also covers ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and the challenges that come with major life transitions.
She uses clear, skills-based approaches in sessions. That means practical tools and short exercises to try between meetings. Dr. Dexter draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to notice and change patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people tolerate discomfort without reacting on impulse.
Her background includes time in intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, private practice, and startup settings. Those experiences shaped a flexible style that fits different kinds of days and problems. She often blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation with Motivational Interviewing when substance use or change readiness is involved.
In sessions she focuses on specific, manageable goals like reducing irritability at work, handling triggers at home, or improving communication. She talks through how feelings lead to actions and practices alternative responses together with clients. Work often includes short homework tasks and simple mindfulness practices to build new habits.
People who choose her typically want straightforward techniques and clear steps. She helps people track small changes over time and adjust plans as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps that matter even when strong emotions are present. It is useful when anger gets in the way of the life someone wants to lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach targets irritability, workplace stress, and repeated reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and is often used when people need tools to respond differently in heated moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dr. Dexter will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what is not.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs. They can shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make consistent attendance more practical while still focusing on skills practice and goal tracking.
