    About Consuelo

    Consuelo Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings five years of practice focused on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and inviting, and she emphasizes working together toward realistic goals.

    Gardner uses client-centered principles to build a respectful partnership. She incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Her work also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, offering practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

    Many clients come to her for help with mood concerns, coping with life changes, trauma and grief, and burnout or compassion fatigue. She has particular experience supporting mothers with postpartum depression and anxiety and helps people struggling with social anxiety and phobia.

    Sessions focus on clear steps and doable strategies. Gardner offers coping tools, short-term problem solving, and time to reflect on values and motivation. She aims to leave people with practical skills they can use between sessions.

    People who prefer a collaborative, empathetic approach often find her style a good match. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking to confirm what fits their needs.

  2. How her approaches fit into online therapy

    Consuelo commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to strengthen motivation for change. This approach relies on conversation and reflective listening to uncover personal goals and reasons to move forward.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s experience and promotes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and then practice new coping behaviors in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods to try based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals are refined and progress is assessed.

    If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills in their usual routines and follow up on homework between sessions.
