Lenore Gray , LPC

Lenore Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. With 16 years of professional experience, she has supported individuals, couples, and families through a range of life challenges using evidence-based and experiential methods. Her clinical work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, directed imagery, and grief counseling to address mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, neglect, communication difficulties, and related concerns.

Grounded in both formal training and personal life experience, Lenore combines therapeutic skill with a pastoral perspective shaped by a close walk with Jesus. Her practice emphasizes a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can receive encouragement, practical coping tools, and support for building healthier relationships with God and others. She helps clients explore patterns, process loss, and develop skills to manage stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and other presenting issues.

Originally from downstate Illinois, Lenore balances professional life with family and creative pursuits. She is a single mother and grandmother with two married adult children and two granddaughters. In her free time she enjoys walking in nature, gardening, art, sewing, and savoring raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chips.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lenore draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, helping people cope with difficult emotions and move toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that stem from early bonds and can be effective for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lenore works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques and priorities to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or connect through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt approaches to the online setting.
