She also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, career questions, sleep problems, and caregiving stress.
Her work combines client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. She adjusts the mix according to what someone finds most helpful and practical.
Gabriele describes her role as a guide and partner. She helps people set realistic goals, try new skills, and notice what changes. If someone is ready to take a first step toward feeling better, she offers steady support and encouragement.
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and helps guide discussions about goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small, practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress-related problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match the person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Please confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or at home. They also let people use shorter check-ins when needed and choose whether to be on camera or not depending on what feels best.
