01 · Who Gabrielle works with

Gabrielle works with stress, Anxiety, grief and self esteem

Gabrielle lists 12 specialisms and 21 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Gabrielle chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Gabrielle's own words

What Gabrielle says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hello! It takes a lot of courage to reach out, doesn’t it? But here you are! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the States of South Carolina and Georgia and a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation.

My approach is to focus on you as your own unique person with your own thoughts, feelings, struggles, goals, and dreams. My job is to create a sacred space for you, to listen with my whole being, to reflect for you, and to ask you powerful questions which will help you explore, analyze, brainstorm, and discover answers and strengths which lay within you and which you may not yet be aware of. Unlocking motivation is key to moving forward, isn’t it? I believe that this is often found in describing what we love and value and then creating a vision around what we love and value which is compelling and life-giving for us, for our families, and for our friends.

A little about me: My own educational adventure started with a B.A. in Liberal Arts, then to a B.Mus. in Music Education. Many years later I felt called to the field of professional counseling and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Shortly thereafter I discovered the dynamic field of “life coaching” and began training, eventually earning my Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coacing Federation (ICF).

I believe every person I meet is full of mystery, beauty, and promise. Let me know if I can assist you!

“Adventure is not outside of man; it is within.” George Eliot

03 · How Gabrielle works

The 6 approaches Gabrielle lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Gabrielle lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Gabrielle's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Gabrielle runs a session.

Acceptance and Commitment TherapyACT

Rather than trying to argue a painful thought away, ACT works on loosening its grip and getting on with what matters to you anyway. Sessions spend real time naming your values, then building action around them while difficult feelings are still present.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Gabrielle practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Gabrielle's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Gabrielle at this point.

2. Naming Gabrielle specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Gabrielle is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Gabrielle.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Gabrielle

Built from what Gabrielle actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Gabrielle's - Gabrielle has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Gabrielle's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Gabrielle. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
