About Gabriela
Gabriela Mikitova is a counsellor with nine years of experience working in private practice and schools. She sees adults and young people and focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She also helps people facing trauma, abuse, grief and major life changes.
Gabriela uses an integrative style, mixing different therapeutic elements to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to build understanding, and uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when they fit the situation. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented when that is helpful.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Gabriela emphasises listening first, then working together to find small, manageable steps forward.
Clients commonly bring concerns about family tensions, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, sleeping difficulties and self-esteem. She also offers support for issues such as codependency, anger, work stress, ADHD and coping after bereavement or major transitions.
Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak. Gabriela accepts international clients and uses an approach that adapts to each person’s culture and background. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match with her and arrange a first session.
How Gabriela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a genuine, accepting relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps clients reflect on their feelings to arrive at their own solutions. This approach is useful for people who want time and space to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriela will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. She tailors methods collaboratively, adjusting pacing and techniques to what suits each person best.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Ask about options that fit your routine - for example a shorter check-in when time is limited, or an audio-only session if bandwidth is low. The main practical benefit is fitting therapy into everyday life, making it easier to attend while balancing work, parenting and other commitments.
