About Gabriela
Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, eating and body-image struggles, grief, trauma or abuse, and concerns related to codependency. She works in both English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, warm space for people to talk through hard issues.
Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. She listens closely and helps people find their own answers while offering practical tools when helpful. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating and building skills to change them.
Gabriela blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered ways to prioritize what matters to the person, cognitive behavioral methods to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical strategies to support emotional regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear where they fit the goals.
She has worked with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents across a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, and substance concerns. Much of her work addresses how past emotional trauma or emotional abuse shows up in current life and relationships.
Gabriela emphasizes partnership in therapy. She will work with each person to set goals and try approaches that suit their thinking style and emotional needs. Her aim is to help people gain clearer understanding, better coping skills, and more balanced relationships.
Online approaches and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want from therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and needs, and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps decide when to use more supportive listening and when to introduce skill-based practice.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It lets people meet with a licensed professional without travel time, which can free up time for work or caregiving. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions helpful for steady progress and easier scheduling, and the therapist will discuss practical details when you set up a first appointment.
