About Gabriella
Gabriella Stumpf is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. She also addresses family-related challenges and compassion fatigue.
Gabriella draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that can change daily routines. Narrative work is part of her approach when people want to reframe difficult life stories and make different meanings out of painful events.
In sessions she aims to be practical and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now at home and what feels most urgent. She will talk through coping skills, communication strategies, and small behavior changes that can be tried between meetings.
Gabriella has experience supporting people through adoption and foster care issues, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She is familiar with challenges linked to attachment issues, abandonment, and the overlapping effects of trauma and substance use.
Sessions are conducted in English and Gabriella accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Gabriella uses evidence-based approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. Online conversations use that lens to notice patterns in how people relate to partners and family members and to try different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions this can mean setting simple home practice tasks, tracking moods, and reviewing what worked between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriella will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts methods as the work continues. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins at a convenient time, let people avoid camera use when they prefer, or fit sessions into a lunch break or a quiet hour at home. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises used in person for remote visits so practical tools and skills can still be practiced and reviewed.Areas of focus
