About Quencina
Quencina Gardner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions, tailoring care to each person’s situation and goals.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes a respectful, open rapport where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment as they work toward greater emotional balance. Gardner draws from a range of therapeutic traditions to meet varied needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, dialectical skills, existential exploration, and Jungian perspectives.
She also addresses issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and family of origin problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, substance use concerns, divorce and separation, and coping with disaster-related or control-related stress. Prospective clients should expect collaborative work that centers their priorities while using structured tools when appropriate.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Quencina Gardner integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered therapy into her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients are supported in discovering their own solutions and building self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gardner works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may combine structured CBT strategies with the reflective, person-focused stance of client-centered therapy or add DBT skills when emotion regulation is a priority, tailoring interventions to the individual rather than applying a single method.
