About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and addiction. Gabrielle also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and coping with major life changes.
Her practice blends several evidence-based approaches. Gabrielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical changes. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to thoughts and emotions.
Gabrielle pays attention to relationship dynamics and attachment concerns. She helps with communication, commitment issues, codependency, and intimacy-related challenges. She also has experience supporting people dealing with bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue, and she works with issues linked to autism and alternative sexual cultures when that is part of someone’s story.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for recurring patterns and offers tools that can be used between sessions. That can mean learning specific CBT skills, using ACT strategies to clarify values, or practicing emotional communication exercises from EFT.
Outside of work she reads, cooks, follows baseball, and spends time with her dog. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the platform matching process to schedule a first session.
How Gabrielle uses online work and therapy approaches
Gabrielle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that reflect personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs work on relationship and intimacy issues by helping people understand and change emotional responses in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying techniques in session and adjusting based on what helps most over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT exercises for remote sessions to keep the work focused and practical.
