Life is stressful enough, getting help shouldn't be. Counseling can help you learn ways to manage stress, life changes, improve communication in your relationships, and come up with solutions and learn skills to manage difficult situations. I can help you with issues related to depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief/loss, anger, trauma, relationships, work stress, life stressors and low- self esteem. Don't hesitate to call me with any questions so we can begin working together toward a plan to relieve stress and emotional pain in your life. Hablo Espanol.

Hello, my name is Cecelia Pooley Gillespie, LCSW, SEP. I work with all ages, with a recent focus on youth and families, including those in rural and Indigenous communities.. I can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, parenting, life transitions, and more. My therapeutic approach is strengths based and solution focused. While I find the cognitive and behavioral lens of CBT, DBT and Narrative Therapy to be valuable, I believe it can be important at times to also incorporate Experiential Therapy, such as creativity, movement, and expression, as well as Somatic work for exploring the mind-body connection.

In our work together, I create a space for you to process, be heard without judgment, and increase your progress toward your goals as you define them. Treatment techniques differ but generally include examining core beliefs about yourself and others that drive perception and behavior habits. In normalizing and allowing for the appropriate human experiences of grief, anger, envy, sadness, and fear, relief is usually found. Determining your sensitivities and discovering how to navigate life’s terms while embracing who you are is a sincere challenge.

Beginning therapy can often be intimidating. It requires, among many things, vulnerability and trust in the therapeutic relationship and process. Painful life experiences can make it difficult to trust that others will have your best interest at heart or not be judgmental. If you are considering entering therapy, I applaud you for taking this courageous first step. My clients have repeatedly told me how comfortable they felt after the first session. I will provide for you a safe and non-judgmental space as we work as a team to accomplish your goals and embrace the process of change.

Often we look for quick fixes for life's challenges when actually they have been developing for many years - dealing with life challenges simply takes time for change. I work with a wide spectrum individuals from all types of backgrounds, histories, lifestyle orientations, faiths and severity of difficulties such as anger issues, depression, anxiety, stress management, and interpersonal trauma. Family issues include pre-marital and couple counseling, parenting issues, children, adolescents, peer relationships, grief and loss through death, adjustments due to divorce or separation, infertility and loss, domestic abuse, and life transitions.

Anxiety/Depression: is it interfering with a sense of purpose, success, hope for your future, relationships, and your job? Grief/unexpected losses of a loved one, friend or pet: holding you back from moving forward? Unresolved traumatic memories triggered when least expected, affecting relationships? Are children angry, acting out as they carry old and new worries? My 30+yr previous career in nursing also provides understanding to chronic illnesses, or sheds light on needed medical referrals. I also offer Immigration Psychological Evaluations.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
