Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy a place where people can finally exhale and be themselves. She creates a listening space where clients feel heard and can speak honestly about tough topics. Her manner is calm and straightforward, so conversations stay focused and manageable.

Gabrielle helps people who are carrying stress from work, relationships, and family life. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, substance use, and major life transitions. Divorce and separation concerns are part of her practice when people are navigating those changes.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. Gabrielle uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centered and emotion-focused ideas. She aims to identify patterns that cause pain and build practical coping skills to change them.

Sessions focus on small, doable steps. Gabrielle works with clients to set clear goals and notice progress. She values the therapeutic relationship and pays attention to the details that matter to each person.

Outside of work, she enjoys reading, cooking, baseball, and spending time with her dog. Those personal interests help her relate to everyday life and the challenges people bring to therapy.

Gabrielle practices in Connecticut and brings five years of counseling experience to her work. She encourages people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change to reach out and take the next step.

How Gabrielle’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with big life changes like divorce or separation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering steady listening and reflection so clients feel understood and can explore what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gabrielle works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps, adapt techniques over time, and involve the client in setting priorities for therapy.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy day and easing travel time so therapy is easier to keep up. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Gabrielle’s online work draws on ACT, CBT, and client-centered approaches so sessions aim to be focused, skill-based, and grounded in personal goals.
