About Gabriele
Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and major life changes. She speaks English and German and brings 22 years of experience to sessions. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and seen.
She meets people where they are and adapts the work to each person’s needs. She uses straightforward conversation, practical tools, and occasional humor to ease tension and make steps forward feel manageable.
Background and approach
Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Her work draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches guide conversations, skills practice, and problem-solving.
Sessions often focus on coping skills, emotion regulation, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Gabriele has helped people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, sleep disruption, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, autism spectrum considerations, and trauma recovery related to abuse.
She holds licenses as an LPC and as a licensed clinical mental health counselor - LCMHC - and has worked in many behavioral health settings. Clients can expect a practical, respectful approach that balances support with actionable steps toward change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Gabriele commonly draws on client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s goals. That means conversations center on what matters to the client and the therapist adjusts pace and topics to fit each person. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, brings clear tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for managing strong feelings and preventing impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to combine skill-building with supportive conversation so progress is practical and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow real-time interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for brief touchpoints, homework review, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or health concerns.
