Gabrielle Barrington, MD, LCPC - Therapist in Maryland

About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Barrington is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people change patterns that hold them back. She uses clear coaching and practical therapy to support clients in building better self-care, stronger boundaries, and more confidence. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people notice strengths and take small steps toward meaningful shifts.

In sessions she helps clients identify what keeps them stuck. She works to uncover underlying worries and habits, then practices concrete skills to address them.

Background and approach

That can mean learning ways to manage stress and anxiety, improving communication, or developing healthier responses to anger and shame. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and training that blends several therapy approaches. Gabrielle holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, license number LC12252.

She practices in Maryland and offers services in English. Many people come for help with depression, life changes, relationships, and parenting concerns. She also supports work on body image, attachment issues, forgiveness, and career strain.

Sessions mix conversation, coaching, and exercises tailored to each person’s goals. Gabrielle uses video, phone, chat, and text formats to fit different needs. She guides each person toward practical steps and keeps the work collaborative.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the initial selection process.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach look at attachment patterns and help people try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and isolation.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients find their own answers, which can be useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this often includes practical exercises and homework to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then collaborate on a plan. That makes therapy a team effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into daily life and to use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to each format so progress continues across different session types.

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.

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.
