About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience practicing in Georgia. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and provides help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to family life. Gabrielle also lists work related to LGBT concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and ACT strategies to clarify personal values and take committed action. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about family patterns and how early relationships influence current behavior.

Sessions are described as interactive and down-to-earth. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, practice new ways of responding, and set realistic next steps between meetings. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are used to strengthen motivation and stress management.

Gabrielle reports experience with addiction, crisis intervention, loss and trauma, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and work in justice and corrections settings. She also notes additional focus on adoption and foster care, abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, and family of origin problems.

She lists credentials as LCSW, CSW, and LICSW and works from a person-centered stance that avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are conducted in English and Gabrielle does not accept international clients. The profile recommends confirming current session options before scheduling.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to help people pick changes that fit their family life and daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical ways to reduce anxiety and rework unhelpful patterns. CBT tools can be practiced between sessions as short written or verbal exercises.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to discuss how early family patterns show up now. That approach helps people who want to understand relationship dynamics and try different ways of relating. The choice of approach is collaborative; the therapist will listen, outline options, and try methods that match the client’s goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter progress-focused meetings, or reduce travel time when juggling parenting and household responsibilities. Therapists often adapt mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing for remote sessions so skills can be used in everyday moments at home.
