About Gabriela
Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing family and parenting strain, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Gabriela focuses on everyday struggles that show up at home. She helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, control issues, and family-of-origin conflicts. She also supports those coping with abandonment, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when helpful. Gabriela listens for how patterns began and then works with each person to identify different choices.
In sessions she aims for interactive conversation and practical steps. That can mean skill practice for emotional regulation, helpful ways to change unhelpful thoughts, or focused conversations about relationships and boundaries. She encourages people to notice small changes and try new behaviors between meetings.
Gabriela has worked with people who have experienced emotional trauma and emotional abuse and she sees those often as roots of other problems. She also has experience supporting people with eating and food-related concerns and with substance use issues that intersect with family life.
Her work is direct and respectful. People can expect a mix of reflection about past patterns and concrete skills they can use at home and in relationships.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach center on conversation, clarifying what matters most at home, and helping people make practical choices about relationships and parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. When used online, CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing different responses, and using short exercises between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. In virtual work this can mean learning grounding techniques, practicing mindful awareness, and rehearsing communication skills that reduce conflict at home.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or school. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular service.
