Gail Roberson , LPC

Gail Roberson Fatino holds a Master of Science degree and professional counseling credentials including LPC and LMLP, which indicate a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist respectively. She brings over three decades of clinical practice to her work and maintains a mobile private office while traveling full time in an RV with her husband of 18 years and their Tonkinese cats, Apollo and Jazzi. In addition to clinical work, she authors children’s books that introduce young readers to characters who face real-life challenges.

Gail’s practice is rooted in evidence-based methods and an interactive, solution-focused style. She emphasizes listening without judgment and teaching practical mental health tools so clients can address the issues that brought them to therapy and move toward the life they envision. She also supports clients who want to go beyond problem solving to optimize well-being and create meaningful life experiences, sharing insights and lessons she has gathered from mentors over the years.

Having transitioned her practice exclusively to tele-counseling more than five years ago, Gail conducts sessions remotely and has observed that many clients are able to engage more quickly and deeply when meeting from their own environments. She values nature and an adventurous lifestyle, which inform both her empathy and her approach to helping others. Gail selected a teletherapy platform that offers 24/7 messaging, a journal option, multiple session modes, and a library of worksheets to support ongoing therapeutic work between live sessions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed early in life and helps people strengthen emotional bonds, improve relationship dynamics, and work through grief or abandonment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client as they discover their own solutions and build self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gail works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work between meetings, and engage from familiar surroundings, which can help clients focus on progress and maintain consistency in care.
