About Gail

Gail Courtright is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 21 years of experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, grief, and mood concerns. Gail aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

She prefers a warm, client-centered style that lets a person set the pace and the topics. Gail also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs extra support finding reasons to shift habits, especially around addictive behaviors. Gail commonly helps people facing life transitions such as finishing college, becoming a parent, or grieving a loss. She focuses on building practical skills for coping with change and improving confidence.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that add up over time. Gail offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That variety helps people fit therapy into busy days and continue work between sessions when useful.

Her practical approach blends listening with straightforward strategies. Gail works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. The first session typically centers on what matters most right now and which tools will help in the coming weeks.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Gail blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to address common concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and letting the person guide what matters most; it helps when someone needs a calm place to talk through changes or losses. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple, practical skills to interrupt negative cycles and try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gail will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what is helpful so sessions stay relevant and achievable.

Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is impractical. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, quick problem-solving, and between-session support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and keep momentum between meetings.
