About Gavin
Gavin Chadwell is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep problems, and life changes. Gavin helps clients build skills to manage anger, low self-esteem, work stress, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He uses plain language and practical tools so people can try things between sessions.
Gavin draws on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas to guide sessions. He encourages small experiments that test what helps in daily life. Sessions often focus on learning coping skills, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and practicing calm attention to the present moment.
He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to support change and manage urges. These approaches emphasize skills practice, emotion regulation, and setting achievable goals. Gavin places weight on what each person brings to the room and builds on their strengths.
With about ten years of experience in clinical settings, he has worked with people dealing with addiction and mood-related challenges. That background informs a practical, outcomes-oriented style. He aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful rather than overwhelming.
Gavin welcomes clients who want help improving sleep and restoring rest as part of broader life changes. Before starting, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match their needs.
How these approaches translate to online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities so the work matches their goals. It helps people feel heard and identifies practical next steps to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior, and it uses exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships, using step-by-step practice to manage strong reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
