About Gwen
Gwen Kittell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She draws on 11 years of experience to support clients through hard moments and to build healthier everyday habits. Gwen focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She listens to each person's story and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions often center on strategies for managing intense feelings, improving sleep, and handling relationship and career strain.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for addiction, trauma and abuse recovery, and grief. Gwen also helps people with self-esteem, body image, codependency, and impulse control. She pays attention to how attachment and forgiveness shape how people relate to themselves and others.
Gwen uses several therapy styles to suit different needs. She draws from client-centered therapy to make space for each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be included for people working through traumatic memories. Her sessions are collaborative and tailored to what an individual wants to accomplish. Gwen aims to help people find clearer direction, steady coping tools, and stronger self-compassion over time.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps shape the work around the client’s priorities. This approach is helpful for people who want a gentle, paced way to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems alive. It is practical and often includes exercises between sessions to practice new skills for anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood regulation.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used with people who are processing traumatic memories. In sessions it combines focused attention on memories with guided stimulation to reduce intense reactions over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gwen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when a shorter, more frequent connection fits a busy schedule.
