About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally exhale and be heard. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and invites people to bring whatever they are carrying into sessions. Gabrielle works with adults and couples to address stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, sleep concerns, and other life challenges.
Her approach is collaborative and individualized. Gabrielle uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build a more meaningful day-to-day life.
Clients meet a clinician who emphasizes real conversation over jargon. Gabrielle focuses on listening, remembering the details clients bring up, and building skills one step at a time. She helps people develop clearer communication, set boundaries, and manage intense emotions like anger or panic.
With five years of experience, Gabrielle has assisted people facing depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, trauma, and major life transitions. She also supports those working through intimacy-related issues, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue. Gabrielle aims to blend practical strategies with emotional understanding so change feels doable.
Outside of clinical work she reads, cooks, follows baseball, and spends time with her dog. That personal side is part of how she connects in sessions and helps clients feel like they are talking with a person, not a list of techniques.
How Gabrielle’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them, clarify what matters, and take small steps toward a more valued life. It can help when worry, sleep trouble, or feeling stuck get in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Gabrielle uses CBT techniques to address anxiety, insomnia patterns, panic symptoms, and low mood by testing unhelpful beliefs and building new habits.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve rest. These skills are often paired with other approaches to support better sleep and calmer days.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabrielle will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day schedule, and she will adjust the plan as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how she offers online work. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and choose a quieter moment for check-ins. Depending on the format available, this can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life sleep or stress challenges into discussion.
