About Gwen
Gwen Bartran is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting strain, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, mood concerns, ADHD, and related problems.
Gwen draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, mindfulness, and narrative methods. In practice she focuses on how thoughts, body responses, and personal stories affect day-to-day life. Sessions often involve noticing how patterns show up, naming what gets in the way, and trying practical ways to respond differently.
She emphasizes a collaborative style where the person in therapy helps shape the work. That can mean practicing mindful awareness, clarifying personal values, or experimenting with new behaviors between sessions. Gwen uses conversations about past experiences to understand current reactions and relationships.
Her experience includes long-term work with trauma, eating-related issues, anxiety and mood concerns. Gwen also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and life transitions. Her background makes room for both emotional processing and concrete skill practice.
Gwen speaks English and works from Colorado as an LPC. People who want to start are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. This helps match goals and practical needs before the first meeting.
How Gwen’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values and then choosing actions that fit what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about daily routines. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they connect and set boundaries. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience in straightforward, nonjudgmental ways so they can find their own direction.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gwen will work together with each person to figure out which methods feel most useful for their goals, preferences, and situations. That collaborative planning can include trying different exercises and checking what helps between sessions.
The site describes a matching and scheduling process to arrange sessions, so confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting someone choose whether to use video or another available option. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent contact while they try new ways of managing anxiety and related concerns.
