How Gabriel blends approaches and works online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect guilt or shame about oneself. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new responses to reduce anxiety and compulsive behaviors.Gabriel also uses Motivational Interviewing when people are ambivalent about change. That approach helps clarify values and build motivation in small steps. He combines these approaches to address addiction, relationship conflict, and trauma impacts in a way that fits each person's situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting session focus over time and trying different strategies until something feels useful.
