Gaedin Keller , LMFT

Gaedin Keller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oregon with 20 years of professional experience. She invites clients to bring their own knowledge of their lives, working from the belief that each person is the expert of their story and that existing strengths are powerful tools for addressing life’s challenges.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Gaedin acknowledges and honors that first step. She aims to create a collaborative space where people feel supported as they explore concerns, build coping strategies, and move toward clearer goals. Her approach emphasizes partnership, practical skills, and recognizing the resources clients already possess to help them navigate change and difficulty.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gaedin Keller uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, and difficulties with coping, and it emphasizes practical strategies and skills that clients can apply between sessions.

She also emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance that recognizes clients as the experts of their own lives. This perspective focuses on identifying existing resources and capabilities and building on them to meet goals related to life changes, self-esteem, and coping with challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. Gaedin works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions with Gaedin can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life while working with a licensed professional.
