About Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn Scrutchins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She began her career working with incarcerated populations and has since supported people with a wide range of mental health concerns. Gwendolyn focuses on clear, direct communication and listens closely to each person's story.

Her practice addresses anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people manage stress, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Parenting strain, grief, and coping with major life changes are areas she commonly sees. Gwendolyn uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she blends practical strategies with reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

Her style centers on empathy and active listening. She aims to treat people with respect and without stereotyping, and she works collaboratively to set realistic steps forward. Gwendolyn is also experienced in writing treatment plans and progress notes when those are part of care.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and a therapist who will both challenge and support them. She invites potential clients to start by describing their main concerns so they can plan the next steps together.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on mapping emotional experiences and improving how people relate to their feelings and needs. It can help when anxiety, grief, intimacy concerns, or relational patterns feel stuck.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes that matter in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behavioral experiments to change mood and routine. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many common struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Over time the approach can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new interactions. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging offers quick check-ins or a way to work without being on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
