About Gwen
Gwen Bartran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices from a client-centered perspective and focuses on helping people make meaningful changes in their lives. Gwen aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Gwen blends client-centered work with mindfulness and narrative approaches. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-focused thinking to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions can include talking, mindful awareness exercises, and looking at personal stories to find new ways forward.
She has a long history supporting people with trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Gwen also helps with anxiety, panic, grief, addiction, caregiving stress, and career or life-purpose questions. Her experience includes work with intimacy and relationship concerns, body image, and compassion fatigue.
Gwen draws on somatic ideas and neuroscience-informed practices alongside therapeutic conversation. This means she pays attention to physical reactions and everyday habits as part of emotional work. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the pace and focus.
Gwen practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. She asks people to use the platform’s Start Therapy process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How these approaches come alive online
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, focusing on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own goals. Online sessions can use that same collaborative rhythm to help people feel heard and decide next steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-guided action. In practice this looks like identifying what matters, trying small behavioral experiments, and learning to live with uncomfortable feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns that form in close relationships and help people spot repeated interaction cycles and try different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help pick strategies that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress happens.
