Gerald Winter, LPC

Gerald Winter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 33 years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and everyday life challenges. He combines decades of clinical work with a practical, collaborative style that emphasizes working together to address concerns rather than simply offering advice.

Gerald draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where a person's goals and values guide the process. He also frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - as a preferred method to accelerate progress. Gerald sometimes recommends reading to reinforce therapeutic principles, including an older book titled "Understanding, Finding Peace and Serenity in Life and Relationships," which he has found helpful for some clients.

He is experienced in recognizing the signs that commonly accompany mood and anxiety concerns, such as persistent sadness, irritability, sleep changes, difficulty concentrating, worry, panic symptoms, and avoidance patterns that can follow traumatic events. Gerald works with people coping with relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, and a range of issues such as codependency, life purpose, and isolation.

Gerald is accepting clients, including those outside the United States, and offers flexible ways to connect. As an LPC in Oklahoma, he brings established clinical skills and a steady, collaborative approach to help clients move toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily functioning.
