Approaches that guide online work and goal setting
Gabriella often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and reactions in close relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriella will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship patterns, thought-change techniques, or a mix of strategies based on progress and feedback.
