About Gigi
Gigi Muir is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with addiction and in community mental health settings. Her practice focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, and coping with life changes.
Gigi draws on a relaxed, straightforward manner in sessions. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people identify small, practical steps. Her approach often emphasizes solutions and skills clients can use between meetings to manage symptoms and keep moving forward.
Many referrals came from addiction treatment and community mental health work, so she is familiar with substance use challenges and the ripple effects on relationships. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic, and phobias, and those wrestling with shame, grief, or major life transitions.
In sessions she integrates techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. That means conversations center on the client’s goals, testing new ways of thinking or behaving, and setting achievable tasks for progress. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness approaches when useful.
People who prefer a calm, practical therapist may find her style a good fit. She aims to help clients set realistic targets, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build coping skills that fit everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Gigi commonly uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and on listening carefully to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms.She also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change. Solution-focused work helps identify small, achievable steps that produce noticeable differences. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring values and ambivalence in a collaborative way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will help you pick methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust them as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they work on parenting stress, addiction recovery tasks, mood management, or communication skills.
