Gabriella Stumpf, LICSW

Gabriella Stumpf is a licensed independent clinical social worker with eight years of clinical experience. She brings personal insight from lived experience with mental illness to her work. Gabriella aims to meet people where they are and to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

Gabriella focuses on practical strategies to ease stress and anxiety. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and mindfulness approaches when those fit a person's goals.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps set small, usable goals. People who are dealing with depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, or parenting stress may find this style helpful. Gabriella also supports people working through major life changes or compassion fatigue.

Her background includes work across varied settings and with many kinds of concerns. That experience helps her shift tools and pacing to fit different situations. She uses straightforward language and keeps session plans focused and concrete.

Gabriella offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options for online care. She accepts clients internationally and provides sessions in English. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform.

How Gabriella’s Approaches Work Online

Gabriella uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts that get in the way and experiment with different actions. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, and habit changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections. This work helps people understand relationship struggles and try new ways of relating. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and reduce reactivity, often through brief exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Gabriella treats it as collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The conversation about approach happens in the first sessions and continues as goals evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or flexible contact during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
