How Gabriel's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and on practicing concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and building coping strategies.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Gabriel will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. He adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what the person wants to prioritize.
