About Gabrielle
Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She aims to make the first steps into therapy less overwhelming and to meet people where they are. Her tone is warm and straightforward, which can help when things feel heavy or confusing.
Gabrielle blends practical techniques with a collaborative approach. She listens to what matters most and helps people build tools they can use outside sessions. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and skills for coping with difficult feelings and change.
With three years of clinical experience, Gabrielle works from several evidence-informed approaches. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts methods to the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She addresses a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, bipolar disorder, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and relationship problems. Gabrielle also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and coping after disasters.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical skill-building, and a focus on daily life improvements. To begin, Gabrielle asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How approaches translate to online work
Gabrielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that lend themselves well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small committed actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabrielle will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to choose methods that fit each person. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The original profile does not specify which online or in-person session formats are used, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use tools and worksheets during a session. Gabrielle aims to adapt pacing and homework to whatever setup the client prefers so therapy can be practical and usable in daily life.
