Gabrielle Panzo

Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally exhale. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest about hard things and begin to make changes. Gabrielle emphasizes practical steps and steady support over quick fixes.

Her work focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with depression, ADHD, substance use concerns, anger, and trauma and abuse. Gabrielle helps clients sort through parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and major life transitions.

Gabrielle uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques support noticing thoughts and choosing value-driven actions. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered methods guide deeper connection and clearer communication in relationships.

She takes a collaborative stance in sessions, listening closely and remembering details that matter. The goal is to spot patterns that hold someone back, build practical coping skills, and restore a sense of agency. Gabrielle encourages honest conversation even when topics feel difficult.

Outside of work she enjoys reading, cooking, movies, baseball, and being a dog mom. That personal side matters to her because she believes therapy is a human relationship, not a checklist. If someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, Gabrielle offers steady guidance to take the next step.

How Gabrielle’s approaches translate to online therapy

ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by avoidance. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. These methods are practical and goal-oriented. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, using listening and reflection to build trust and clarify goals; it can help when people feel stuck or disconnected in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method up front.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also support continuity of care during life transitions and make it simpler to involve tools like mindfulness exercises or worksheets between sessions. Talk with Gabrielle about what will fit your routine and goals so you can set a practical plan for working together.
