Gabriele Rebbe

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed counselor who aims to make people feel heard and comfortable. She brings more than 22 years of experience and works with adults facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life changes. She speaks English and German and practices in Vermont.

Gabriele keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She listens without judgment and uses humor when it helps ease tension. Her style is respectful and compassionate, focused on helping people take practical steps toward change.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful. Conversations are tailored to the person’s goals, whether that means coping strategies for anger, ways to manage sleep and stress, or planning steps toward healthier habits.

Her background includes work across many settings with people facing trauma, substance use concerns, relationship strains, parenting stress, career shifts, and chronic illness. That experience informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation.

Gabriele describes therapy as a partnership. She helps people identify clear goals and small steps to reach them. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady support, practical strategies, and encouragement along the way.

How Gabriele’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Gabriele frequently draws on client-centered therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says, and shaping conversations around their goals and values. It helps when people need a calm space to talk through anger, grief, or life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, sleep problems, and habits someone wants to change. Dialectical behavior therapy provides skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be helpful when strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriele will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative and goal-focused, with room for problem-solving and skill practice.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn’t possible. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your routine and how to structure sessions to match your needs.
