I had 2 months of counselling with Gerald and I really looked forward to every session. We had a great rapport and he always knew the right words to say. Sometimes he challenged me, sometimes he agreed with me, but he always listened to me and gave me sensible suggestions. I couldn’t recommend Gerald highly enough. All round solid gentleman and an excellent counsellor.

More about Gerald
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- LIMHP
As a licensed therapist serving Nebraska, I bring more than 15 years of experience helping individuals and couples move through stress, relationship challenges, trauma, identity questions, and the everyday complexities of being human. I work with adults from many backgrounds, including professionals navigating workplace pressures, individuals in midlife transitions, those exploring attachment and identity, and anyone seeking clarity, healing, or growth.
My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I use evidence-based, client-centered frameworks, including attachment-focused therapy, strengths-based approaches, multicultural counseling, and trauma-informed care to understand your story and support your goals. Together, we will look at patterns, build healthier communication, strengthen self-worth, and develop practical tools for navigating life with more confidence and peace.
I believe therapy should feel both safe and human. I bring humility, a bit of humor when it helps, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to do this work. What inspires me most is seeing people reconnect with their resilience and uncover parts of themselves they didn't realize were still there.
If you are ready for steady support, honest reflection, and a caring space to grow, I am here to walk that journey with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
