About Octavia
Octavia Gallon is a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Octavia writes plans with each person to match their goals and needs.
She practices Mindfulness Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build practical skills to manage mood and worry. Her approach is simple and goal-directed rather than long on jargon.
Octavia has a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and holds an LPC credential, with licensing ties to Arizona and Wyoming while practicing in Florida. She draws on six years of clinical work that include grief, motivation, and confidence concerns.
Sessions focus on clear communication and concrete steps. People can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and regular check-ins about progress. Octavia emphasizes strengths and small experiments that fit daily life.
She encourages anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed to take a first step toward change. The initial process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to find a workable time. Octavia aims to make therapy practical, approachable, and relevant to the things that matter most.
How Mindfulness and Practical Therapies Work Online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment and build steady habits for handling stress and anxiety. It can be useful for low mood, worry, and improving day-to-day focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and what has helped before, then suggest an approach or mix of approaches. You and the therapist can try strategies and adjust them if something does not fit your needs or preferences.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow consistent check-ins between in-person obligations. It also supports using mindfulness practices and CBT exercises during everyday routines so skills transfer more easily into real life.
