How Gabrielle uses therapeutic methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking small actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabrielle will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adapts exercises and conversations based on what feels most useful for day-to-day life.
