About Lenore

Lenore Gray brings a cognitive behavioral therapy-informed approach to her counseling, integrating practical skills with exploration of values and relationships. She uses evidence-informed strategies to help clients address symptoms like anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and phobic responses while also attending to relational patterns and life transitions.

Background and approach

Lenore combines CBT with acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to create individualized plans that focus on skills, insight, and meaningful change. Lenore holds a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

Her professional licensure includes LPC credentials in Colorado (CO LPC 0006527) and Texas (TX LPC 88983), and she brings 16 years of clinical experience serving people facing mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, communication and family-of-origin issues, addictions and process-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.

She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance that blends practical tools with attention to personal values and spiritual resources when clients wish to include them.

How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online

Lenore often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach focuses on practical skills for anxiety, depression, phobias, and obsessive concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements that work by encouraging values clarification and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for grief, life transitions, and persistent distress. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and early bonds to improve communication and intimacy in current relationships, helping clients understand how past connections shape present interactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative and often evolves over time. The therapist will work with each client to weigh goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and may combine elements from different methods to tailor a plan that fits the person's needs and pace.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it possible to integrate these approaches more flexibly into daily life. These options can help sustain momentum between sessions, accommodate varied schedules, and allow people to engage in evidence-informed techniques from locations that are convenient for them.
