About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally breathe. She creates a calm, down-to-earth space where people can speak plainly about stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes without feeling judged. Her manner is warm and straightforward, inviting honesty even when conversations are hard.

With five years of experience, Gabrielle helps people untangle patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address symptoms like panic attacks, sleep disruption, and mood swings. She also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions.

Gabrielle works collaboratively, listening for what matters most and tailoring each session to the person in front of her. She focuses on building skills for coping, improving communication, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Over time people learn to notice unhelpful patterns and choose different responses.

Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and attachment. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.

Outside of work she’s a dog mom who loves reading, movies, cooking, and baseball. Gabrielle shares a relaxed, human approach to therapy and aims to walk alongside people as they make real changes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Gabrielle draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT focuses on practical steps to change thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and panic. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabrielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then adapt techniques to match those needs in a collaborative way. People often mix skills from different approaches depending on what they want to change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. Some people prefer sessions that allow video connection for face-to-face conversation, while others use audio-only options for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions can be shaped around your daily routine.
