About Gertrude

Gertrude Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with six years of practice supporting people through hard life moments. She works with adults and adolescents who are facing anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and family conflict. The tone in sessions is collaborative and straightforward.

Clients can expect a calm presence and practical conversation about what matters most to them. Gertrude uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools to help people tell and reshape the stories they carry.

Background and approach

She often pairs these perspectives with mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to build small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing new ways of coping, and strengthening everyday routines that reduce distress. Her background includes helping people impacted by domestic violence, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and blended family stress.

She also supports those dealing with abandonment, caregiver strain, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Work may include improving communication, setting boundaries, and processing traumatic memories. Gertrude emphasizes strengths-based, trauma-informed work that looks for what is already working in a person’s life.

She aims to make therapy practical and usable outside the session. People who want direct, compassionate help with real-life problems will find a clear, action-focused approach. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Gertrude directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Gertrude blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative narratives that support change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing each person fully and building the conversation around their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gertrude will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings to keep progress moving. The focus is on practical tools and real-life changes that carry over into daily routines.
