Background and approach

Gabriela blends strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and build small, doable habits. The sessions aim to create practical tools parents and partners can use between meetings.

She has experience supporting people through trauma, addictions, postpartum challenges, blended family issues, and divorce or separation. Gabriela also addresses concerns like communication problems, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in multiple care settings and with first responder issues.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Gabriela helps clients set clear goals and works step by step to meet them. For Spanish speakers she can hold sessions in Spanish when needed.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when parenting or life changes leave someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change around parenting or relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work Gabriela does with each client. She will collaborate to pick or combine methods based on a person or couple's goals, needs, and comfort. Together they set clear, measurable steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy parents and partners. These formats let people fit sessions around work, childcare, and daily life while keeping momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to offer regular follow-up, short check-ins, and focused skill-building that support real-world changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
