About Gabriela

Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with four years of experience. She focuses on parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. She also helps people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, LGBT-related issues, and life transitions.

Perkins has worked with teenagers, people in crisis, and individuals managing day-to-day pressures. She uses practical talk, goal-focused steps, and skills practice rather than abstract explanations. Sessions often include learning specific coping skills for intense emotions and ways to rebuild connection with others.

Her clinical approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help people lower anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that cause conflict at home.

In sessions she pays attention to attachment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and seasonal mood changes. She also addresses self-harm risk and supports young adults navigating independence and identity. The work balances short-term strategies with attention to deeper patterns.

Prospective clients should note she practices in Utah and conducts therapy in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule an initial appointment through the site. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How Gabriela uses proven approaches in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. It relies on listening and collaboration so the client sets the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and low mood over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will help you decide which methods fit your needs and goals. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can happen during breaks or after work. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice skills in day-to-day settings without needing extra travel time.
