How his approaches translate to online work
Gabriel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. ACT teaches how to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, grief, and motivation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriel treats the first few sessions as a chance to understand goals, try techniques, and choose what fits best. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to use and adjust them over time.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or family commitments. Gabriel will help match session length and frequency to what fits your schedule while focusing on practical tools you can use between meetings.
