How Gabriel blends approaches for online support
Gabriel often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate when feeling jealous or threatened.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gabriel will discuss goals and try methods collaboratively, checking in to see what feels useful and adjusting the plan as needed. That means sessions can shift from practical skill-building to exploring feelings about past relationships, depending on what helps most.
The biography does not state specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also give people the option to meet from somewhere with fewer distractions or to choose a quieter technology setup, depending on what best supports the conversation.
