Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Gabrielle uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress.

She also applies motivational interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change - a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores readiness and strengthens motivation for steps like recovery, improved relationships, or healthier coping.

Additionally, Gabrielle draws on a strengths-based perspective that highlights a person’s existing resources and resilience, helping clients and families build on what is already working in their lives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Gabrielle will work with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Gabrielle offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls or phone sessions, and shorter or more frequent support is available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
