How Gabriela uses CBT, DBT and client-centered methods online
Gabriela uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide conversations that center the client's priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person identify goals and next steps in plain terms. It suits people who want a collaborative, conversational starting point.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test alternative ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit. Clients and therapist decide together whether to adjust techniques as progress is made.
