About Gretchen

Gretchen Landry is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience practicing in Louisiana. She brings extensive experience in medical social work, combining clinical insight with knowledge of how illnesses and medical conditions affect emotional and social functioning.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, cancer and caregiver concerns, and a wide range of other life stressors. Her counseling manner is warm, interactive, and focused on practical progress.

She uses evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to help clients identify patterns, clarify values, and build coping skills. Motivational interviewing also informs her work when clients are making changes or confronting difficult choices.

Gretchen aims to help people understand where they are now and move toward the goals they define. She sees counseling as a collaborative process and welcomes those ready to explore change, manage stress, process grief, or address long-standing patterns.

Sessions are available through a variety of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Gretchen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which emphasizes clarifying values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that align with what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so that therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and clients are encouraged to provide feedback as their work progresses.

Online therapy with Gretchen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life, offer timely check-ins between sessions, and support ongoing progress when in-person visits are not practical.
