About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally exhale. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so people can be honest about what they are feeling and begin to make small, steady changes. Gabrielle emphasizes listening first and tailoring each session to the person in front of her.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on practical steps - learning coping skills for anxiety, improving sleep, and managing mood or relationship difficulties. Gabrielle helps people work through major life changes and the stress that comes with caregiving, work, or parenting.
Gabrielle has five years of clinical experience supporting adults with depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses concerns like compassion fatigue, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her work includes attention to attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink when those areas are relevant.
She values a collaborative relationship and pays attention to the small details that matter to clients. Gabrielle aims to help people recognize unhelpful patterns, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with what matters to them. Outside of work she enjoys reading, cooking, baseball, and spending time with her dog.
How core approaches guide online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with mood, panic, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy centers on an open, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build self-understanding and resilience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as needed so sessions are focused and usable in everyday life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they actually live and work, and still get the same structured support a licensed professional provides.
