Background and approach
Her background includes work across outpatient and community settings and experience with first responder-related issues. That variety shaped how she approaches complex situations and life transitions. Gabriela emphasizes concrete goals and small, manageable steps toward change.
Sessions are guided by collaboration. Gabriela draws from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused techniques to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and motivate action.
People who choose her often want a warm, practical therapist who keeps plans simple. She aims to help with parenting stress, coping with loss or divorce, body image and self-esteem concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related stress, addictions, and trauma responses. Work is paced to the client’s needs and preferences.
How Gabriela's Approaches Work Online
Gabriela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values even when difficult feelings arise.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gabriela will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share updates and get support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and fit different daily routines, helping clients maintain momentum toward their goals.
