About Gabriela

Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah. She focuses on making therapy feel calm and approachable so people can talk about stress, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and relationship concerns without feeling overwhelmed.

Dialectical behavior therapy tools and mindfulness help with emotional regulation and staying grounded during hard moments.

Approaches to online therapy and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's goals. That approach helps people feel heard and guides sessions at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often start with trying an approach and adjusting it as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness practice and skills coaching between in-person visits when that fits their routine. If you want to know which session styles are available, check the booking steps and schedule based on the therapist's current offerings.
