Gertrude Moore, LCSW

Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of experience. She focuses on helping peoplemanage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She also supports parents and caregivers navigating family conflict and parenting strains.

She works in a compassionate, collaborative style that centers the person's strengths. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps you notice patterns and try small changes that fit your life.

Gertrude has experience with adoptive and foster families and with people affected by domestic violence and other traumatic events. That background informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and building coping skills. She helps people process difficult events while also focusing on day-to-day functioning.

Her practice draws on client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. Those methods are used to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce distress. She adapts tools to what each person needs rather than offering one fixed program.

People who come to Gertrude often want help with parenting challenges, blended family stress, attachment or abandonment concerns, grief, and life purpose. She supports caregivers dealing with stress and isolation and helps people rebuild a sense of self and healthier relationships. To start, she asks a few questions and works with you to set clear, manageable goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts your goals first and asks what matters to you. The therapist listens closely and adapts the session to your needs, which can help with family stress, parenting challenges, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage stress. It often uses short exercises between sessions to build new habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ground you during moments of overwhelm; it can be useful for anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches may be mixed or adjusted as you progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins on a break or sessions that avoid travel time. It also lets people keep continuity of care through transitions like moving or changes in schedules. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, and they will help you choose a pace and plan that fit your daily life.
