Lenore Gray , LPC

Lenore Gray is an LPC with 16 years of experience who blends compassionate listening with practical tools. She draws on client-centered care and evidence-informed strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. Lenore practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Her background includes a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. That education sits alongside long clinical experience supporting people through mood disorders, trauma, and communication problems. She also brings a faith-informed perspective for clients who want that included in their work.

In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. Techniques may include behavior-focused work from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion regulation skills similar to dialectical behavior therapy, and ways to notice values and committed action from acceptance and commitment therapy. She also uses attachment ideas to help people change how they relate to others.

Lenore helps people process grief, cope with life changes, and repair or clarify close relationships. She supports those facing midlife transitions, issues with intimacy, and the long-term stress of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Practical problem solving and communication skills are common parts of her sessions.

Outside of practice she is a single mother and grandmother who enjoys walking in nature, gardening, art, sewing, and raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chips. Her approach aims to be warm, direct, and respectful of each person's beliefs and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps. It often focuses on short exercises and weekly actions that fit easily into remote work between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and teaches new ways of relating to others; it can be discussed and practiced effectively over video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which works well with worksheets and brief between-session tasks.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful when nonverbal cues matter, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep forward momentum even when schedules change.
