Therapeutic approaches for online support

Gabrielle draws on Client-Centered Therapy to place the person’s experience at the center of the work, offering empathy and acceptance while clients explore their goals and values. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to gain clarity and build self-directed change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. CBT offers practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabrielle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan may combine elements from different approaches to fit the individual.

Online therapy with Gabrielle is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in sessions and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
