About Geralyn
Dr. Geralyn Dexter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and more bearable.
Her style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. She offers brief, clear tools for overwhelming feelings and difficult patterns. That can include thinking habits that worsen anxiety, ways to steady mood swings, or strategies for navigating job stress and life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses substance use and problems that come with chronic illness and caregiver strain. Her work draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to emphasize what you can try between meetings and how to notice small changes over time.
The focus is on usable habits rather than abstract theory. Geralyn has practiced across many settings, including intensive outpatient programs, in-home services, independent practice, and health-focused startups. That variety shapes a flexible, down-to-earth approach that fits different schedules and needs.
Therapy with her centers on building trust and clear goals. She helps people name what matters, set manageable steps, and track progress. People who come for anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, or work-related strain find a practical, empathetic partner in therapy.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.Questions people ask
