About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and issues related to identity.

Background and approach

She blends practical skills with compassionate support to address concerns such as parenting, self-esteem, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes, while also attending to specific areas like abandonment, attachment issues, domestic violence, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her approach is person-centered and collaborative, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude.

Gabrielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She aims to create an interactive, down-to-earth space that avoids stigmatizing labels and helps clients explore values, patterns, and practical steps forward.

Practicing in Georgia, Gabrielle works with individuals and families across a wide range of life circumstances, including adoption and foster care concerns, substance use, and family-of-origin problems. Her background in social work informs a whole-health perspective that connects emotional, relational, and situational factors when planning care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Gabrielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can move toward meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. In addition, attachment-based ideas guide work around relationship patterns and family dynamics to improve communication and connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabrielle works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailors techniques from different methods to suit those needs. This allows clients to experiment with strategies and find what helps them make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. These formats support consistent contact, timely skill practice, and ongoing collaboration between therapist and client, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver interventions grounded in CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed care.
