About Lenore
Lenore Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She uses Narrative approaches alongside practical therapy methods to help people sort out stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems.
Lenore draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make sense of problems and try new responses. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations look at stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape feelings and choices. Her background includes a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. Those studies inform a calm, reflective style that balances practical skills with attention to meaning and values.
Lenore has long experience with mood disorders, trauma, grief, addiction concerns, family of origin issues, and communication difficulties. She also helps people facing life transitions, midlife questions, and struggles with guilt or shame. Sessions emphasize encouragement, problem-solving, and small steps that can change everyday life.
Outside of work she is a mother and grandmother who enjoys walking in nature, gardening, art, sewing, and raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chips. Her approach aims to be warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping people move toward clearer choices and more satisfying relationships.

How narrative and evidence-based work translates online
Lenore blends Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based work to help people make meaningful change. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and asks which parts of that story are helpful or limiting; this can help with identity, relationship, and life-purpose concerns. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward the life they want, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and living with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based approaches explore patterns in close relationships and help people try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lenore treats therapy as a collaboration and will check in about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together the client and therapist decide how much narrative reflection, behavioral practice, or relationship focus to use.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick reflections, journaling prompts, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try methods that work for each person.
