About Gabriel
Dr. Gabriel Stanziano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 13 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.
His approach aims to be practical and grounded so people can use skills between sessions. He creates a warm, nonjudgmental space and listens carefully to understand each person’s struggles. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what feels manageable, while still pushing toward change.
How Gabriel works
The overall tone is compassionate and direct, mixing support with concrete steps. Dr. Stanziano draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to the individual.
He uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness techniques to build acceptance and focus on valued action. He works with practical problems like sleep trouble, motivation, and daily stress.
He also helps people facing chronic pain, caregiver strain, relationship communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Other areas of focus include hoarding, impulsivity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Sessions may include skill-building, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning.
The aim is to help people gain tools that reduce distress and increase meaningful activity. Dr. Stanziano emphasizes steady progress and clear goals in the work he does.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match personal values. It helps when avoidance keeps someone stuck and they want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood or anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with stress and sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they will check what helps and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and role-play. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to practice skills between meetings. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
