About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with five years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, ADHD, substance use, and life transitions. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people facing questions about what comes next after change.
Gabrielle uses practical approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning concrete coping skills, and clarifying next steps when people feel stuck. She aims to build a collaborative relationship so clients can speak honestly about difficult topics.
Her work includes helping people manage trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career concerns. Additional areas she notes are attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink culture, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around communication and commitment. She also lists mood disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and coping with disasters as part of her practice.
Gabrielle describes a straightforward, person-centered style where the therapeutic relationship matters. She pays attention to details clients mention and supports the development of concrete skills. Conversations cover patterns that keep problems going, ways to respond differently, and steps to try between sessions.
Outside of work she enjoys reading, cooking, movies, dogs, and baseball. That personal side is part of how she connects with people and remembers everyday life matters when addressing stress and purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Gabrielle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear, which can help with life purpose questions and major transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to support reflection and present-moment awareness. Choosing the right approach is part of the work; Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust as those needs change.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives to in-person visits when travel or scheduling is difficult. A clear conversation about goals and practical constraints helps plan how sessions will work alongside everyday life.
