About Gabriele
Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who brings more than 22 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life changes.
Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to make people feel comfortable and understood from the first meeting. She draws on straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills.
Background and approach
Gabriele also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to slow things down, reduce reactivity, and strengthen self-awareness. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs and goals. Many clients come to her for relationship and parenting struggles, career concerns, grief, sleeping problems, or challenges related to identity and LGBT issues.
She also supports people working through adoption and foster care issues, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and recovery from abuse or domestic violence. Gabriele has worked across a range of settings with individuals facing complex, overlapping problems. She often uses mentoring and coaching alongside therapy to encourage practical change and clarity.
Humor and respect are part of how she builds trust and eases tension in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and German. Gabriele practices in Vermont and brings a practical focus aimed at helping people take manageable steps toward better functioning and greater well-being.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Gabriele commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and to practice small, doable behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for worry, sleep problems, and low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can help when emotions feel intense or when relationships are a frequent source of difficulty. Client-centered methods and mindfulness practices are woven in to increase self-awareness and slow reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust techniques based on what fits each person’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth; chats and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping focus on practical skill-building.
