Gabriela Mano Radunz, ACA

Gabriela Mano Radunz is a psychotherapist based in Australia with eight years of clinical experience assisting people through emotional and financial transitions. She centers her work on helping women develop greater autonomy in relationships, finances, time use, and emotional life, combining empathy with evidence-informed techniques and cultural awareness. Gabriela trained as a psychologist with advanced studies in clinical psychology and holds an ACA credential, a professional affiliation that reflects her commitment to ongoing standards of practice.

Her clinical approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she often integrates mindfulness tools to help clients act in line with their values even when facing discomfort, guilt, or uncertainty. She has significant experience working with women with ADHD and has supported clients managing anxiety, burnout, trauma, depression, social phobia, career transitions, and relationship challenges.

Beyond her private practice, Gabriela has provided workplace support and ethical listening, which informs her capacity to hold complex emotional narratives involving shame, fear, or moral dilemmas. She is described as warm and attentive while also being direct when the situation calls for clarity. Gabriela views therapy as a process of reconnection to personal values and identity, offering structure, gentleness, and practical guidance to help clients move forward.

Gabriela provides online therapy in English and Portuguese and is currently accepting only Portuguese-speaking clients. Her practice focuses on creating an inclusive, grounded, and human-centered therapeutic space.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters to them. It is helpful for clients facing uncertainty, guilt, or life transitions who want to align behavior with personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by introducing practical skills and experiments that reduce distress and improve coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-focused attention skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be valuable for stress, anxiety, and focus-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gabriela collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She blends methods when appropriate and regularly reviews progress together so the plan remains aligned with client priorities.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions happen - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support across different schedules and locations.
