About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who creates a calm, accepting space for people to breathe and be heard. She presents therapy as a place to slow down, make sense of stress, and take small steps toward change. Gabrielle keeps sessions straightforward and respectful, and encourages honesty even when topics feel hard to say out loud.
She focuses on common life struggles like anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and major life transitions. Gabrielle also works with people facing trauma, grief, ADHD, and substance use concerns. Codependency, attachment issues, and intimacy-related challenges are among the additional areas she addresses.
Her way of working is collaborative and tailored to each person. Gabrielle uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotionally focused approaches, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. Sessions include noticing patterns, building coping skills, and experimenting with new behaviors outside of the therapy room.
Gabrielle emphasizes the therapeutic relationship - listening closely, remembering details, and celebrating progress. She aims to help clients reconnect with their priorities and clarify what matters most as they move forward.
Outside of work she enjoys time with her dog, reading, cooking, and watching baseball. Those personal interests are offered to remind clients that the therapist is a real person who understands the effort it takes to slow down and practice self-care.
How Gabrielles Approaches Translate to Online Work
Gabrielle draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide practical online sessions. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, codependency, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, often used for mood, panic, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gabrielle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to try. That can mean combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or emotionally focused techniques to fit the problem at hand.

Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so the skills practiced in sessions transfer into everyday life.
