Gene Gosselin

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and my background blends clinical skills in both counseling and nursing. I have years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, identity questions, and major life transitions.

I’m a clear communicator and bring emotional steadiness and the ability to understand people quickly to my work.

In my practice, I work primarily with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply, break long‐standing patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives. I have extensive experience supporting clients who struggle with self‐criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, and the lingering impact of family dynamics. I also work with high‐functioning professionals to help them maximize their insights, achieve balance, and unlock their potential.

Outside of my clinical work, I’m grounded by a long, loving marriage, a close circle of friends, and a life that includes equal parts structure and humor. I’m a dog person, someone who values connection and curiosity, and I try to show up fully in the relationships that matter. These parts of my life shape the way I practice: with steadiness, clarity, and a genuine respect for the complexity of being human.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Finding family therapists in Syracuse starts with understanding what your family wants help navigating. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the people who may attend sessions.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local family therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in New York. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on your goals and the therapist’s approach. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists, review availability, and see whether they’re accepting new patients and what insurance information is listed on their profiles. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
