About Gabrielle
Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in session. Gabrielle blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. In conversation she focuses on identifying what matters to the client and on practical steps to reduce distress and move forward.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Gabrielle listens to the specific problem, offers ways to notice and shift unhelpful patterns, and teaches skills that can be practiced between meetings. She also addresses related areas such as attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, and communication issues when they come up.
Her work suits people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health and who want clear, usable strategies. Gabrielle guides clients through manageable exercises and reflections rather than long theories. She helps people test small changes and learn what fits their daily life.
To begin, readers should follow the site matching process to schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and Gabrielle offers services in English to clients located in North Carolina.
How Gabrielle uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and major life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than only changing thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete strategies to shift patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help with mood swings, impulsive behavior, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help you test what fits your goals and day-to-day life. She draws on different approaches as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.

They also let people use video, phone, or other supported options depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
