Gabrielle PanzoLPC

Gabrielle Panzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to make therapy feel like a place to finally exhale. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence where people can say what’s on their mind and start making sense of difficult feelings. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she encourages honesty even when conversations are hard.

Gabrielle helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use concerns, and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, major life transitions, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. She pays attention to how everyday patterns affect mood and relationships and helps people build practical coping skills.

Her work blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Mindful practices are offered to reduce agitation and ground attention in the present. Emotion-focused work supports connection and understanding in relationships.

Gabrielle emphasizes collaboration. She listens for what matters most, remembers the small details, and sets goals together with clients. Sessions focus on concrete steps and experiments that can be tried between meetings so change feels manageable.

Outside of sessions she is a dog mom who reads, cooks, watches movies, and follows the New York Yankees. She shares personal interests to help people feel they are working with a real person, not a distant expert. If someone is feeling stuck or overwhelmed, Gabrielle aims to walk alongside them toward clearer direction and steadier days.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new skills to change them, which is helpful for mood, panic, and sleep issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection and communication in relationships and can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is working and what needs to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more convenient. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Gabrielle will help tailor the approach to each person’s needs and circumstances.
