Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gabrielle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions guided by personal values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering straightforward tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. In addition, her client-centered orientation prioritizes the therapeutic relationship by creating a supportive, empathetic environment where clients lead the pace and focus of work.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gabrielle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy reflects what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, access therapists from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each session.
