How Gabriella works
Her work covers issues tied to family background, attachment, and adoption or foster care experiences. Gabriella uses approaches that help people understand patterns and try new ways of responding. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and narrative work to reframe difficult stories.
Cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies are used to develop clearer thinking and calmer responses in daily life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Gabriella helps set small, achievable steps so progress is easier to see.
She adapts to each person’s pace and practical needs rather than following a fixed script. People meet Gabriella through online formats that fit their schedules. She accepts international clients and provides services in English.

Approach and Access: Online Therapy With Practical Methods
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current behavior and how patterns show up in close relationships; it helps people notice connection patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and solve day-to-day problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people calm their reactions and stay present when stress or strong emotions arise.Finding the right approach happens together. Gabriella will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She uses that conversation to pick methods that feel doable and relevant, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and client-centered.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or use therapy without being on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular visits and keep momentum between appointments.
