Gigi Muir , LPCC

Gigi Muir is a seasoned counselor with 28 years of professional experience, bringing a steady, solution-focused approach to work with people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and life adjustments. She developed deep expertise in addiction through many years of clinical practice and also spent a decade serving in a community mental health agency, where she worked with a wide range of presenting concerns and family situations.

Gigi maintains a laid-back, patient style and emphasizes careful listening as the foundation for collaborative change. She is known for helping clients identify practical steps toward their goals and for keeping sessions focused on workable solutions. Gigi holds an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a credential that reflects her advanced training and clinical experience. She aims to create an approachable therapeutic environment that supports clients as they work toward meaningful, achievable progress in their lives.

Combining Therapy Approaches with Online Care

Gigi Muir draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic atmosphere where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration and can be helpful for people who need support processing life changes, relationships, or identity concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients find and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation and gives concrete tools to use between sessions.

Motivational interviewing is another approach Gigi employs when ambivalence about change is present, such as in addiction or lifestyle shifts. It focuses on exploring personal motivation and building readiness for change without pressure.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Gigi works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt methods over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer greater flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make ongoing care more accessible for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These formats allow consistent contact and tailored support in ways that suit a client's daily life.
