About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally breathe. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and begin to untangle stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. Gabrielle emphasizes an approachable, human connection so clients feel heard and supported from the first session.
Her work focuses on a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career decisions, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with big life changes.
How Gabrielle works
She also helps with issues related to attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and alternative sex culture, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and recovery from domestic violence or separation. Gabrielle draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match techniques to goals. Sessions center on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and reconnecting with what matters. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where Gabrielle remembers details, celebrates small progress, and sits with difficult moments.
Her style is compassionate and practical - she helps people develop tools they can use between sessions. Outside work she enjoys reading, cooking, baseball, and spending time with her dog. If someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, Gabrielle invites them to take the next step toward clearer living and steadier days.

How Gabrielle's approaches work for online therapy
Gabrielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and commit to actions that matter, even when thoughts and feelings feel overwhelming. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and getting unstuck from patterns that cause suffering.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps with mood problems, panic, sleep troubles, and unhelpful thinking habits by teaching concrete skills and experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That process may involve trying different tools and checking in on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to cover skill-building, emotion regulation, relationship concerns, and planning for next steps without promising any single format.
