About Gabriela
Gabriela A Peraza Angulo is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings five years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to better meet cultural and linguistic needs.
Her style is client-led and exploratory. She listens first, then follows what feels most important to each person in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be less structured so conversations can address what matters that week instead of a strict agenda. Gabriela has worked with people navigating immigration-related stress, including acculturation pressures and family separation. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and supports those looking for more self-love, clearer life purpose, or help with women’s issues.
In a session she offers curiosity, compassion, and practical steps when they fit. Therapy is a space to name feelings, practice coping skills, and try small changes that feel doable. Gabriela aims to help people feel seen and more able to move forward.
Starting therapy can feel hard and uncertain. She encourages gentle pacing and meets people where they are. If someone wants clarity, healing, or simply a place to talk things through, she works collaboratively to set the pace and topics each week.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Gabriela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and building coping skills. One common approach involves noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; it helps people break down worries into smaller, manageable steps. Another technique centers on processing trauma through careful, paced conversation and grounding exercises to help reduce intense reactions and build stability.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriela works with each person to figure out what matches their goals, preferences, and life situation. She encourages open conversation about what helps and adjusts methods when something isn’t working well.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and richer communication. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and day-to-day support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
