About Gabriella
Gabriella Stumpf is a Minnesota LICSW with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, depression, addictions, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses concerns such as coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Gabriella lists work with bipolar disorder and family-related issues as part of her practice focus.
Gabriella draws on therapies that look at how relationships and life stories shape feelings and behavior. In sessions she uses approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods to help people think through patterns. She aims to talk through what is happening now and the ways past events still affect daily life.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings, alongside clarifying thoughts and feelings during the session. She pays attention to how relationships and family history influence current struggles, including abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, and blended family challenges.
Gabriella has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, from eating and food-related issues to communication and commitment problems. She has worked with caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, and others grappling with family of origin wounds. Her work also addresses more serious diagnoses named in her profile, including antisocial personality features and autism spectrum concerns when these are part of the presenting picture.
People considering therapy with Gabriella will find a practitioner who combines talk-based exploration with practical tools. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To confirm current session options, readers should check the platform booking details before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions using this lens can help people notice relationship patterns and practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT often includes specific exercises, short skill-building homework, and step-by-step plans to test new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriella collaborates with clients to decide which methods suit their situation, goals, and preferences. She will help identify whether attachment-focused conversations, CBT tools, mindfulness exercises, or a mix feels most useful and adjust as progress unfolds.
The practical benefits of working online are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are listed on the platform. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly use video and phone formats on many platforms, but please verify the exact options Gabriella offers when you set up your first appointment.
