About Gabriele
Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people facing life stress, mood struggles, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. She works to create an easygoing, respectful space where clients feel heard. Her style is direct but warm, often using humor to ease tension and build trust.
Gabriele speaks English and German and practices in Vermont as an LPC and LCMHC. With 22 years of experience, she has practiced in many settings including behavioral health and addiction treatment.
Background and approach
She supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career concerns. She also assists those navigating major life changes, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress. Her clinical work draws on client-centered therapy that centers the person’s own goals.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness strategies are used when emotional regulation and coping are priorities. Gabriele tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs, combining mentoring and coaching when appropriate.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a non-judgmental tone throughout care. The goal is to help people find steps they can try between sessions. If someone wants support making change, she offers guidance and encouragement as they take the next steps.
She aims to empower clients toward more satisfying daily life and improved coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients clarify their goals. This approach is useful when someone needs an accepting space to figure out what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal communication. People learn emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness tools they can use in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, ongoing support and check-ins between sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
