Licensed Therapist in Naples, FL - Meet Gissa

---

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Grateful Insights. I provide both individual and couples counseling to adults seeking real, lasting change through in-person and virtual sessions in Naples, Bonita Springs, and surrounding areas. I also offer therapy in Maine through secure telehealth sessions, expanding access to seasonal residents and others.

My approach is direct and strengths-focused. I will remind you of your inherent strengths and resilience, but I won’t shy away from offering honest feedback when you feel stuck. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and build a path toward healing and growth.

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP), EMDR therapy, and the Gottman Method approach into treatment, tailoring each plan to your needs.

I’ve worked with individuals and families to overcome past traumas for over 15 years, and in recent years I’ve devoted much of my work to supporting Veterans, caregivers, and their families.  I have served within the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the development and evaluation of national suicide prevention initiatives, providing clinical leadership in national advance care planning programs, and in direct mental health care.

Whether you’re seeking support for trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or chronic stress, therapy can be a place to reconnect with your strength and clarity. I provide therapy services for adults and couples in Naples and surrounding Southwest Florida communities, with in-person sessions available in Naples, as well as virtual therapy for residents of Florida and Maine.

Together, we’ll work to help you move forward with greater resilience, balance, and confidence.
