About Gwen
Gwen Bartran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 25 years of practice. She draws on mindfulness principles to help people notice what is happening in the moment and respond with more intention. Gwen aims to make therapy practical and down to earth so people can use skills between sessions.
She brings a holistic perspective that includes attention to the body, attachment patterns, and the stories people tell about their lives. Sessions often focus on building awareness, learning skills to manage anxiety or mood, and untangling the effects of past trauma. Gwen uses therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods alongside mindfulness work.
Her background includes long experience supporting people dealing with trauma, eating challenges, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She pays attention to how early relationships shape present behavior and helps clients practice new ways of relating and coping. She also works with concerns like caregiving stress, grief, anger, and career questions.
Gwen describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and methods adjust as needs change. Her style centers on listening, guiding gentle self-awareness practices, and helping people try concrete tools. The aim is to move toward clearer values, steadier mood, and more reliable coping.

How mindful methods and ACT can work online
Gwen commonly incorporates Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her approach. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and make daily stressors easier to handle. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gwen treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients try methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will adjust practices and goals over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a break at work or between other commitments. It also offers flexibility for trying mindfulness exercises, processing difficult memories, and practicing new ways of relating from daily life without changing routines.
