About Gisela
Gisela Delgadillo is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT with 10 years of experience. She helps people cope with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. She also works with people facing addiction and the everyday pressures of young adulthood like leaving home, early jobs, and identity questions.
She uses straightforward conversation to map what's happening in a person's life. Sessions focus on improving communication, untangling family patterns, and building practical coping skills. Gisela pays attention to how culture and discrimination shape someone's experience and brings that into the work.
Her approach combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative methods. That means clients get both space to tell their story and concrete strategies to test new ways of thinking and acting. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and measure progress.
Main topics she addresses include abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family and family-of-origin issues, infidelity and jealousy, and struggles with life purpose. She also helps people navigating divorce or separation, and those working to recover from drug and alcohol addiction.
Sessions aim to be practical and direct. Clients leave with small experiments to try between appointments. Gisela works with adults and explicitly includes young adults among the people she helps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gisela uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's story and priorities. That means sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and helping the client set the agenda for what to work on. It is useful for sorting identity, multicultural concerns, and relationship patterns.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT provides concrete exercises and short experiments that clients can try between sessions to see what changes. Narrative therapy is used to reframe life stories and separate people from problem labels, which can help with issues like shame, infidelity, and life purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative planning helps pick which methods to emphasize and what small, practical steps to try next.
