About Gabriele

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence and tries to make people feel understood without judgment. She often uses light humor to ease tension and build rapport during early sessions.

With 22 years of experience, Gabriele has worked in many treatment settings and supports people facing relationship strain, parenting struggles, career decisions, grief, sleep problems, and anger. She also works with those navigating adoption and foster care concerns and related life adjustments. Her background includes work with people affected by physical and emotional abuse and trauma-related symptoms.

Gabriele adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She blends client-centered ideas with cognitive and behavioral tools, dialectical skills, and motivational techniques. Coaching and mentoring are included when helpful, so sessions can focus on problem solving, skill building, or planning next steps.

Sessions are framed around respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Gabriele helps people set practical goals and learn coping strategies they can use between meetings. She explains steps clearly and works collaboratively so each person knows what to expect.

If someone is ready to make a change, she supports them through the process and helps them find manageable ways to move forward. Gabriele speaks English and German and holds LPC and LCMHC credentials in Vermont and Virginia.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can ease anxiety and build trust during sessions.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical strategies for mood, sleep, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It teaches short-term tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer interaction with others.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current challenges, and personal preferences, and then tailor methods to fit those needs. That shared planning helps keep sessions focused and useful.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue care from different locations within the same region. Licensed professionals aim to help people apply skills in daily life and keep progress moving between meetings.
