About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Fleming is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD symptoms. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters. Sessions focus on concrete steps to handle day-to-day problems and regain a sense of control.

Gabrielle aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming and more manageable for someone already juggling a lot. Her work centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be taught to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques shape brief, goal-oriented plans when clients want focused change.

Gabrielle has seven years of practice providing psychotherapy in Maryland. She holds an MD and is a licensed clinical social worker - clinical (LCSW-C). Her training and experience inform how she matches methods to each person’s needs.

She pays attention to practical life demands when planning sessions. Sessions typically include identifying small, doable steps a person can take between meetings. Gabrielle also addresses concerns like caregiver stress, communication problems, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and issues related to aging.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward, helping clients set realistic goals. If a parent or adult is looking for steady, clear guidance through a difficult time, Gabrielle offers a calm, focused approach that emphasizes real-world strategies and emotional support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gabrielle commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and then practice small shifts to change outcomes. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or goals change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping the same therapeutic tools and planning. Gabrielle uses these formats to deliver skills training, short practical exercises, and regular check-ins that can be carried out between meetings.

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.
