About Gabriele

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With more than 22 years of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of practical strategies and empathic support to help clients clarify goals, develop coping skills, and make lasting changes. Her work emphasizes collaboration and respect; she creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space and often uses gentle humor to ease tension.

Gabriele blends cognitive behavioral methods with dialectical behavior approaches and client-centered principles, tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She also offers coaching-style guidance for wellness and lifestyle shifts.

Licensed as an LPC and an LCMHC in Vermont and Virginia, Gabriele has supported people dealing with grief, sleeping problems, parenting and career challenges, compassion fatigue, and many complex concerns such as trauma history, domestic violence, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and autism-related matters.

She provides services in English and German and invites prospective clients to take the step toward a more fulfilling life when they are ready.

How practical therapies translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports clients in exploring their values and goals, which can help with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions and problems with coping under stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Gabriele will work with each person to assess needs, trial techniques, and adapt methods based on what fits the client's goals, preferences, and practical situation rather than insisting on a single modality.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for matching the way a person prefers to communicate. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints while still engaging in evidence-informed therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
