How Gabriela uses therapy online and by approach

Gabriela often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and still act toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful for managing anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions by clarifying values and small actionable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela treats the choice of method as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting them meet at times that suit work and family schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well across different session arrangements.
