About Gunjani

LPCC and LMHC licensed in California with 17 years of experience, Gunjani Patel-Oza focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, sleep problems, coping with life changes, and coaching. She also works with eating concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions use approaches listed by her, including ACT, attachment work, client-centered methods, EFT, and EMDR.

Patel-Oza keeps conversations direct and practical. She helps people name their concerns, notice patterns, and try small behavior changes between sessions. When relationships are a worry she looks at communication and attachment styles to rewrite unhelpful cycles. For anxiety and panic she uses skills to manage symptoms and strategies to reduce avoidance.

Her trauma work includes paced memory processing methods alongside emotion-focused techniques. This can be helpful for people carrying panic, post-traumatic stress, or dissociative reactions. She also supports people dealing with separation, postpartum mood changes, and intense shame or guilt.

Coaching and life-purpose conversations are part of her practice when someone wants clearer goals or better decision habits. She treats eating concerns with attention to control issues and underlying emotions rather than quick fixes. Work on self-love and forgiveness often appears alongside practical coping skills.

Patel-Oza blends evidence-informed methods with a client-centered stance. She collaborates on goals and adjusts approaches as needs change. To begin she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk about treatment priorities.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them while learning to live alongside uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and making clearer choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences shape current reactions; it often helps when communication problems, abandonment fears, or distrust repeat in adult relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured processing of distressing memories and body responses and can be used for traumatic memories, panic, and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative step. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on how each approach feels and what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Therapists can use the described approaches to teach skills, guide relational work, and conduct paced trauma processing remotely, with choices shaped by your needs and practical constraints.
