About Gabrielle
Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and changes that feel overwhelming. She writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on practical steps and real-life coping skills. Her approach aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward for someone worried and short on time.
With three years of clinical experience, Gabrielle uses a mix of practical methods to address everyday problems and deeper emotional pain. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move toward what matters most to them. Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical Behavior approaches shape how she supports emotional regulation and connection to values.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals like reducing anxiety, managing mood shifts, improving self-esteem, or working through grief. Gabrielle emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide what to try next based on what is and isn’t working. She aims to teach skills that can be used between sessions in real situations.
Her work also covers concerns such as ADHD, addiction, codependency, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and body image struggles. Gabrielle practices in North Carolina and speaks English.
To start, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How certain approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with worry, mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and patterns in relationships to help people better understand and process difficult feelings and improve emotional responses.The right approach often emerges from listening and trying things together. Gabrielle works collaboratively, discussing your goals and preferences and adjusting methods over time so the plan fits your needs rather than forcing a single style.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity of care during life transitions. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to use skills between meetings, check in during a tough week, or keep momentum when travel or work schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
