About Gavin
Gavin Chadwell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, low self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions.
He uses clear, skill-based methods rather than vague talk. Sessions focus on practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when someone needs help deciding on change and keeping momentum.
Gavin describes his style as client-centered. He helps people name the problem, test small changes, and practice skills between meetings. That might mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, learning short grounding practices for big feelings, or mapping steps to reduce substance-related harm.
Work in sessions tends to be direct and concrete. People often leave with specific strategies to try in day-to-day life: breathing and grounding tactics, thought records, behavioral experiments, or short DBT skills for managing intense feelings. Progress is tracked through those small, testable efforts.
He also brings experience from addiction-focused work and a background supporting people through career stress and compassion fatigue. For anyone looking to handle anger, reactivity, or build better coping habits, he offers a practical, skills-based approach rooted in mindfulness and cognitive strategies.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online, this means conversations that start with what matters most and pace work around the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small experiments. In remote sessions, CBT often uses short homework tasks, thought records, and behavioral experiments you can try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; skill coaching and brief practice can be integrated into session plans.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to emphasize based on needs, goals, and what feels helpful in practice. That choice can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to practice real-world homework in the moments they occur, and to schedule appointments around work or family commitments.
