About Gabriella

Gabriella Stumpf is a licensed independent clinical social worker who brings eight years of practice to her work. She frames sessions around each person’s real-life needs and practical concerns. Her tone is direct and kind, aiming to make therapy feel straightforward for people juggling busy lives.

Gabriella uses clear, simple methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She also addresses relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and other life changes.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on concrete steps and real problems rather than jargon. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with attention to how early attachments shape current patterns. Gabriella often pairs cognitive behavioral strategies with narrative and mindfulness work to shift unhelpful thoughts and calm intense feelings.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want to strengthen commitment to change. Sessions are adaptable to individual needs and preferences. She has experience across multiple settings and can meet people through different formats to fit their schedules and comfort.

People can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes practical tools alongside exploration of personal stories. Located in Minnesota, Gabriella works with English-speaking clients and offers services to international clients as well. Her LICSW credential reflects clinical training and state licensure.

To begin, prospective clients follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Gabriella commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. This work helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new, safer ways of connecting. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out different behaviors to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriella collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and practical needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most and what feels realistic for the client.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular care easier to fit into a busy life. These formats let people access sessions from home, keep progress between meetings with messaging, and pick the option that feels least disruptive. The combination of clear approaches and flexible delivery supports steady progress while accommodating schedules and location differences.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
