About Gunjani
Gunjani Patel-Oza is a licensed clinician who blends practical, person-centered care with trauma-focused tools like EMDR. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She has 17 years of experience working in clinical settings in California and beyond. Clients can expect conversations shaped to their needs, whether the goal is to build self-confidence, recover from past hurts, or find clearer life direction.
Background and approach
Gunjani uses everyday language and concrete steps so people know what to expect from sessions. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and communication patterns that cause pain.
Client-centered methods keep the client's perspective and goals at the center of every plan. Gunjani also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy for people wanting help with relational patterns and EMDR for addressing disturbing memories and trauma responses when appropriate. She frames these tools as ways to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
She treats concerns such as panic attacks, phobias, postpartum depression, dissociation, and compassion fatigue, along with common struggles like guilt, shame, loneliness, and control issues. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills and clearer self-understanding so people can move forward with more confidence.

Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Gunjani blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with trauma-focused tools to address both symptoms and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of connection show up in adult relationships. It helps people recognize communication habits, repair ruptures, and build more supported ways of relating. EMDR, used selectively, offers a method for processing upsetting memories that continue to cause strong reactions; it can be part of work on post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan together so it fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions let people use visual connection for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and daily life.
