About Gabriela
Gabriela A Peraza Angulo is a California licensed clinical social worker with five years of practice. She provides therapy in English and Spanish and aims to create a welcoming space for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She works with stress and anxiety, and with people recovering from trauma and abuse.
She also helps those facing life transitions, low self-esteem, and struggles with motivation and confidence. Sessions are guided by what feels most pressing for each person in the moment.
How Gabriela works
Gabriela brings focused experience addressing immigration-related stress, including acculturation challenges, family separation, and related legal uncertainties. She pays attention to cultural concerns and the ways background and identity shape emotional experience. Her style is client-led and exploratory.
Gabriela listens with curiosity and supports people in naming emotions, sorting priorities, and trying small changes. Sessions are intentionally less structured so conversation can follow what matters most that day. She emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional processing, helping people build coping skills and clearer routines.
The goal is to help clients feel more grounded, make thoughtful decisions, and increase confidence over time. Gabriela invites people to start where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. She aims to walk alongside clients as they find greater clarity, self-compassion, and direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gabriela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people name feelings and build coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people process trauma in a paced way so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming and more understandable. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and manageable routines to reduce daily distress and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps in day-to-day life rather than sticking to a single formula.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or school routines while keeping care consistent and accessible.
