Gabriella Gilbert, LPC

Gabriella Gilbert works with people who are ready to examine patterns, deepen self-understanding, and make intentional changes in their lives. She supports individuals and couples navigating Borderline Personality Disorder, neurodivergence, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional impacts that often accompany these experiences. Gabriella frequently assists clients managing anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, sexually maladaptive behaviors, and relationship concerns, and she welcomes work across the lifespan from children to older adults.

Her clinical style is eclectic with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Reality Therapy. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, blending a relaxed, down-to-earth approach with clear professional boundaries and a focus on measurable progress. Gabriella adapts techniques to each person, emphasizing practical skills, insight, and real-world problem solving.

Gabriella holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which signifies formal training and state licensure to provide professional counseling. She sees clients ages 5 through 65 and works best with those who are open to collaboration and growth. If someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain where to begin, Gabriella encourages reaching out; therapy does not require having everything figured out, only the willingness to show up as you are.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Gabriella draws from well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns by teaching practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills - an approach that can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Reality Therapy centers on present-day choices and responsibility, helping clients clarify values and take practical steps toward better relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gabriella works with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adapt methods over time so that therapy fits the client’s preferences and life circumstances. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to suit individual concerns and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access care from home, during work breaks, or while managing mobility or caregiving demands. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to fit sessions into a busy life.
