How her therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client’s goals and uses their own strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior and teaches specific strategies to test and change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts. Gabriele blends these methods with mindfulness and motivational interviewing so the work includes skill practice, short-term goals, and reflective conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new challenges surface.
