I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Missouri with over 20years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addiction/substance abuse, depression, stress management, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and life transitions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. The central idea in my approach is that people are not “broken”. Everyone makes the best choices they can, based on their experiences and life situation. However, over time those choices and the resulting coping mechanisms may hold you back from growing and reaching your goals. I am here to help clients reach the goals they set for themselves. My job is to help clients identify new choices that match their values. Together we will work to create movement in your life towards your stated values and goals. My theoretical approach is eclectic. I am most strongly influenced by the work of Carl Rogers and his Person-Centered approach to therapy. I use a lot of mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Since I do not adhere to a single theoretical approach, I use a variety of techniques that I think will benefit individual clients. I do not have a “one size fits all” mentality when it comes to counseling. If you are interested in addressing career issues, I can administer career assessments including the MBTI, Skill Scan, and the Self-Directed Search. It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Gail Roberson Fatino MS, LPC, LMLP . Licensed Professional Counselor: Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Delaware . Licensed Masters Level Psychologist: Kansas. . I travel full-time in our RV with my husband of 18 years and our Tonkinese cats, Apollo and Jazzi. I have a private office in our RV, where I conduct remote therapy sessions. I also write children’s books featuring characters who help young readers navigate real-life challenges. . I love connecting with nature because it reminds me of what truly matters in life, which is a key reason I enjoy my RV lifestyle so much. As a quote from The Lion King states: “There is more to see than can ever be seen, and more to do than can ever be done." My goal is to see and do as much as possible while living my best life. In short, I love life and make it my mission to experience it to the fullest every day! . As an interactive, solution-focused therapist, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored specifically to my clients' immediate needs and life visions. My practice, which spans three decades, is grounded in evidence-based solutions. I listen without judgment and teach my clients to utilize mental health tools to cope with and resolve the issues that brought them to therapy. . I would be remiss not to mention that therapy can extend beyond problem resolution. I enjoy helping my clients create the life experiences they desire, and for those who wish, therapy can focus on optimizing their mental health. I am deeply grateful for the life teachers who have graced my life over the years, imparting invaluable lessons. I share their words of wisdom with clients who want to incorporate them into their therapeutic experience. . I enjoy my work as a therapist now just as much as I did when my career began over three decades ago. Through years of practice, I've come to understand that real answers exist for life’s challenges. I also take great pleasure in helping others create the experiences they desire. My philosophy about therapy is that each individual’s experience is unique. It’s my role as their therapist to guide them toward their desired outcomes. Additionally, I have a responsibility to present various ways for them to achieve their goals, as there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution; multiple paths often exist to tackle a problem or move beyond a specific life situation. It is genuinely my distinct pleasure to assist my clients in discovering the answers that best suit their lives. . I now offer mental health therapy exclusively. Over five years ago, I transitioned my entire practice to tele-Counseling, which made therapy just a click away for my clients, eliminating the time and hassle of traveling to an office. This was only the beginning of the benefits, as clients have shared that they can focus on their issues more quickly and deeply in their own familiar environment. I’ve also noticed that, in general, teletherapy requires fewer sessions to achieve successful outcomes than in-office sessions. . A few considerations for specifically choosing the Better Help platform for my clients include the amenities of the 24/7 message page allows for on-going therapy between live sessions. The "journal option" makes it possible for my clients to easily do their personal work and then share it with me if they choose, or keep it private otherwise. The menu of session modes meets each client at their comfort level and availability. My clients can select for phone or live chat or video on a session by session basis. There is a library of worksheets and information available to therapists that are beneficial to my clients. Plus, my clients can print or upload their messages and worksheets and maintain their own record of their therapy experience. These are all amenities generally beyond the scope of traditional therapy, and is the reason I selected "Better Help" for my clients. . I’d love to connect with you on Better Help! So log-in, settle into your easy chair, and click "Work with Me". I am right here to take that first life-changing step with you. Gail
