Gunjani Patel-Oza, LPCC, LMHC

Attachment-informed care and flexible online therapy

Gunjani uses attachment-based ideas to help people recognize how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connections, and she helps people practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on current concerns, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as needs change. The work is presented as a partnership where goals and steps are agreed on together.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or hands-free options are needed, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options give practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and travel while still accessing consistent care.
