About Gemma
Dr. Gemma Andaya is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings eight years of experience to her work in Nevada. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on trauma, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, and big life changes.
Her style aims to help people feel safer in their bodies and clearer about next steps. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside mindfulness and somatic awareness. Sessions are adapted to each person's situation so practical skills fit daily life.
Background and approach
People often work on rebuilding self-trust, managing overwhelming feelings, and improving communication skills. In sessions she moves at a steady, compassionate pace. She helps clients notice how stress shows up physically and then practices simple ways to change those reactions.
Conversations are direct but gentle, with an eye toward usable strategies between appointments. Dr. Andaya pays attention to patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency, and control issues.
She also addresses concerns such as body image, dissociation, isolation, and fertility-related stress. Work may include learning new boundaries, processing painful memories, or developing routines that reduce emotional reactivity. Therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Online support
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Andaya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques together with mindfulness and somatic awareness. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and heighten moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Somatic awareness focuses on noticing bodily signals of stress and learning gentle practices to shift those sensations, which often supports people managing trauma responses and dissociation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and live feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between appointments or use brief, focused exchanges during a busy day. These options are designed to increase flexibility and make ongoing therapy easier to fit into life.
