Gabriel Sarpong, LCPC

Gabriel Sarpong is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. He focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and navigate grief. Gabriel also helps people build self-esteem and cope with big life changes.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed action. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, not lecture-style.

Gabriel pays attention to cultural background and men's mental health as part of understanding each person's story. He listens for how work, identity, and relationships shape daily stress. That context helps him suggest steps that actually fit a person’s life.

Many clients work on specific problems such as career strain, communication difficulties, or feelings of emptiness and guilt. Gabriel also supports people facing health-related concerns like cancer or HIV and issues tied to adoption, caregiving, or aging.

He blends client-centered listening with tools from DBT and motivational interviewing when useful. The result is practical homework, clear goals, and skills to use between sessions. Gabriel aims for steady progress through small, manageable changes.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it gives clear steps and exercises to try between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that align with those values. It can be helpful for coping with loss, persistent worries, and situations that feel out of control.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can make choices at their own pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people reflect between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
