Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gabriel uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed early in life and how those dynamics affect current connections, helping with relationship struggles, family conflict, and codependency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, address sleep and eating issues, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change, which is especially useful for substance use and other addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabriel works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their history, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time as needs evolve to support steady progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living far from in-person services. These formats make it possible to maintain consistent care, work through time-sensitive concerns, and involve family members or partners when appropriate, all while supporting accessibility and continuity of treatment.
