About Gabriela
Gabriela Loera is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She supports individuals coping with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and the wear of compassion fatigue. Gabriela works with practical concerns like adjusting to life changes and improving self-esteem.
She centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. Gabriela listens first, then helps clients set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on what a person can try between meetings so progress feels tangible. Her approach draws from several therapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s priorities at the center of work together. She also uses Solution-Focused tools to map clear next steps and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that come from past experiences. Gabriela aims for a supportive, down-to-earth style.
She explains ideas in plain language and uses examples that match everyday life. Many conversations focus on practical coping skills and small behavior changes that add up. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices in Virginia.
Sessions can include talk, skill practice, and short check-ins to track progress and adjust plans as needed.

How Gabriela’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. The therapist reflects what matters most and helps build goals that fit the client's life. This approach is useful for people wanting a supportive space to make sense of hard feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Gabriela helps clients try small behavior changes and new ways of thinking, then review what worked. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriela will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those aims. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can be a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different communication styles.
