About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally exhale. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest about what’s hard. Gabrielle focuses on practical steps that help with everyday challenges and bigger life shifts.
Gabrielle uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Background and approach
She helps people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those managing ADHD, addictions, trauma, and sleep problems. Her work emphasizes collaboration.
Gabrielle listens for patterns that get in the way and helps build coping skills people can use outside sessions. She also focuses on communication, intimacy concerns, and rebuilding trust after difficult experiences. Gabrielle has five years of clinical experience and practices in Connecticut as an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor.
She aims to remember the small details that matter and to celebrate progress along the way. Her style balances direct skill-building with empathy and attunement. Outside of sessions she is a dog mom who enjoys reading, movies, cooking, and baseball.
That personal side informs her belief that therapy works best when there is a real human connection. She welcomes those ready to take a next step toward change.
How Gabrielle’s approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with their values; it can help with anxiety, life transitions, and overwhelm. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding first, giving people space to tell their story and feel heard while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep disruption.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the tools used between meetings.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also lets people practice skills in their usual settings and bring real-life examples into sessions. Licensed professionals tailor how they use these methods to suit each person's situation and goals.
