About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed counselor who blends emotion-focused work with practical strategies. She draws on 17 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. She aims to meet clients where they are and shape sessions around each person's needs.
Her approach centers on listening and helping people name and make sense of strong emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in emotional responses and attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships influence feelings.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are added when values-based action and coping skills are useful. Gunjani works with people facing relationship strain, grief after separation, panic or phobias, postpartum mood changes, and the fallout from trauma. She also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, and struggles around eating and body image.
Coaching-style work is available for clients wanting help with life purpose or professional confidence. Sessions are shaped by collaboration. She listens for what matters most, helps identify goals, and adapts techniques to suit each person.
Practical exercises, in-session conversations, and real-world assignments are used to build new habits and reduce distress. Gunjani is licensed as an LPCC in California and as an LMHC in Florida. She offers work in English and accepts clients living outside the United States when logistics allow.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every encounter.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Acceptance-Based Work Translate Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. Online sessions use conversation and focused reflection to map those emotional responses and try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts, choosing values, and taking small actions toward them; online exercises and short between-session practices support that work.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Through guided discussion and gentle experiments in session, the therapist and client trace connection needs and try alternative responses. Together the therapist and client decide which approach fits best, and they adjust technique as goals and preferences become clearer; finding the right mix is treated as a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are well suited for brief check-ins, homework review, or flexible support between longer sessions. These options allow therapists to match format to the work needed and to the client's schedule.
