01About Gemma
Dr. Gemma Andaya is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes.
Her manner is warm and non-judgmental, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and clear for worried parents and individuals. Gemma blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with mindfulness and somatic awareness to address symptoms that come from overwhelming experiences.
Background and approach
She works with common issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people coping with family problems, fertility matters, and complicated feelings like guilt, shame, jealousy, and isolation. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs.
Gemma helps clients build self-trust, stronger emotional coping, and clearer boundaries. She uses straightforward skills and exercises in session so people can try them between meetings. Her approach balances emotional understanding with practical steps.
Mindfulness and attention to body sensations are used alongside talk-based work to help people feel steadier in daily life. Over time this can make decisions and relationships easier to manage. Gemma provides services in English and offers multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions according to her availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Dr. Andaya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside mindfulness and somatic awareness. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and strengthen emotional regulation; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and stress from life changes. Somatic awareness focuses on noticing bodily sensations tied to emotions and can help people who experience dissociation, overwhelm, or tension to feel more connected and stable.These methods are presented conversationally and adapted to the person’s needs. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections between meetings and can fit into busy days without needing to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
