About Gabriela
Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She brings four years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people feel heard. Her style is straightforward and supportive, and she works to make sessions feel approachable for busy parents and adults.
Gabriela uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered techniques to keep conversations driven by each person’s values and goals. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they fit the client’s needs. In sessions she helps parents tackle common struggles like family disconnection, guilt, and stress related to raising children.
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, and loneliness. Gabriela pays attention to attachment concerns, shame, and seasonal mood changes when they come up. Her approach is collaborative: she works with people to set goals and pick strategies that match their lives.
She explains techniques in clear language and practices skills together during sessions. If a question falls outside her scope, she will help find useful resources. Gabriela provides services from Utah and meets with clients in English.
She offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Gabriela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that increase anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed together during sessions to track progress.Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT-style skills work well for managing intense feelings and improving daily coping routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that suit a persons life and the challenges they bring to therapy.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills face to face, phone can fit into a short break, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules and varied needs.
