About Gabriele
She uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make clients feel understood without judgment. Sessions are conversational and practical, with occasional humor to ease tension. Gabriele focuses on helping people find clearer choices and steady coping tools that fit day-to-day life.
Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. She also uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities and goals. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are added when people are ready to change habits or manage strong emotions.
Gabriele has experience across many situations, including grief, parenting strain, career stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and trauma after physical or emotional abuse. Her background includes helping people who face mood disorders, addiction, and major life transitions.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and works with them to set realistic steps forward. If someone is ready to try therapy, she offers a supportive, practical approach aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborating with each person to identify what matters most and set the pace of work. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many everyday concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will work with the client to match goals and preferences to specific methods, adjusting the plan as needs change. That collaboration helps people try a skill, check whether it fits, and pivot if something else would work better.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and support regular check-ins for skills practice. It can also help people who need flexible scheduling or a quicker way to touch base between big life changes.
