ABOUT

Joe Gilbert

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor &
Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher 

I am incredibly grateful to have served the Triangle area as a licensed counselor since 2005.

​

I studied psychology at NC State and was trained as a counselor at Penn State with a focus on Rehabilitation Counseling. My training was rooted in Person-Centered Counseling and the work of Carl Rogers. I wouldn't be where I am without all the wonderful teachers who have shared their wisdom with me along the way.

MY PERSPECTIVE

Counseling Approach

While the foundation of my counseling approach is person-centered counseling, I often resource from other theories and practices, including LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed mindfulness, narrative therapy, existential therapy and contemplative spirituality. My approach has also been strongly influenced by my training and personal experience in mindfulness meditation.

 

I see counseling as a collaborative process, more of an art than a science. Less Freud, more Ted Lasso. I recommend consulting with at least a few different counselors to determine who will be the best fit for you.
