About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed clinician who uses a mix of practical, people-focused therapies to help with stress and anxiety. She brings 17 years of clinical work to sessions and aims to make the first steps easier for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She centers conversations on what matters most to each person.
That means building a plan together that fits daily life and real goals. She listens for patterns tied to attachment, shame, or control and helps people find clearer ways to relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to repair relational patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship distress is a main concern. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing trauma when appropriate.
Gunjani helps with a wide range of concerns such as panic and phobias, sleep problems, coping with life changes, postpartum challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Gunjani is licensed as an LPCC and as an LMHC and practices in California.
She offers work that is respectful and tailored to each person’s pace and priorities. If someone is ready to take a step, she focuses on clear, manageable steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Gunjani often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports living in line with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change those patterns for more supported relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging make it possible to get steady support between longer sessions and to fit therapy into busy schedules.
