Giselle studied psychology and social work before earning her License in Clinical Social Work, LCSW, in California.

She addresses co-occurring problems like substance use patterns or multiple diagnoses alongside mood or anxiety conditions.
Her practice style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set goals and works with them on skills for managing mood, impulsivity, anger, and relationship tensions. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session are used to match needs and plan next steps.

Therapeutic methods and how they work for remote care
Giselle uses mindfulness approaches to help people bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. These practices are short exercises and breathing techniques that can lower immediate stress and improve emotional awareness.She also applies cognitive-behavioral methods, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Behavioral strategies and exposure-based techniques are used for avoidance, compulsions, and panic symptoms. These methods involve gradual, planned steps to face feared situations or urges while building coping skills to reduce distress.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on the person's goals, current concerns, and preferences. That planning can change as progress is reviewed.
The profile does not specify session formats here, so confirm the available remote formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue care when relocating within the same state or switching schedules, while the therapist and client adjust methods to fit the session length and setting.
