About Gunjani

Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed counselor who focuses on mindfulness-based ways to reduce stress and strengthen emotional awareness. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and works to meet each person where they are. Gunjani aims to create a calm, direct space for people to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sleep troubles, and life changes.

She uses gentle, present-moment tools from Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice patterns and respond differently to difficult feelings. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clearer values, stronger connections, and better emotion regulation.

Gunjani adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s needs and goals. Sessions can include practical coaching for work or life transitions, strategies for coping with panic or sleep problems, and support after loss or separation.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across settings, helping with trauma-related concerns, eating issues, compassion fatigue, and parenting transitions such as postpartum depression. She describes her approach as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate.

Gunjani holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices in California. She speaks English and is open to working with international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching form and schedule based on availability.

How Mindfulness and Acceptance Work Online

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills so people can notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions without getting swept away. It's often used for stress, sleep problems, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) pairs acceptance strategies with clarifying personal values, helping people take meaningful action even when discomfort remains. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and sessions can blend techniques to suit the situation.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Online work can make follow-up coaching and brief check-ins simpler, and it can reduce travel time so people can use appointment slots around work or childcare. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available options before booking so the chosen format matches your routine and needs.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
