04Online support
How attachment and skills work online
Gabrielle often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach focuses on understanding connection needs and how to build more supported ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family issues.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people test unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression through small experiments and skill practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gabrielle will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, values, and day-to-day life. She adjusts tools as needed so sessions remain useful and focused on measurable steps.
Online therapy with Gabrielle is offered in multiple formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video isn't possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel, and they let people pick the communication style that feels most comfortable.
