Gabriela Mano Radunz , ACA

Gabriela Mano Radunz is an ACA counsellor with eight years' clinical experience who uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy at the heart of her practice. She works with women navigating emotional and financial change and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and ADHD. Gabriela aims to help people make choices that match their values even when life feels uncertain.

Her style is warm and attentive, yet direct when clarity is needed. Sessions blend practical techniques with mindfulness and motivational strategies. Gabriela helps clients notice what matters to them, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build small, workable steps toward change.

She has experience helping people through burnout, career transitions, social anxiety and relationship challenges. Gabriela also brings knowledge of ageing and caregiver stress, eating and body image concerns, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and immigration-related strain. This range supports people whose life stories involve complex emotional themes.

Gabriela has worked in both private practice and workplace support roles, which informs her approach to ethical listening and holding difficult conversations. She often uses brief exercises between sessions to keep momentum and track progress.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Gabriela provides online options so people can fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. The focus is practical, human and value-driven, helping people reconnect with what matters most to them.

How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what they value and take committed action toward those values. Online ACT sessions often involve short experiential exercises and homework that focus on letting go of unhelpful struggles and choosing meaningful steps.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In remote CBT work clients learn simple techniques they can practise between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and non-judgemental awareness of present moment experience. Online mindfulness can include guided exercises during a call and short practices to use through the week to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. The choice is informed by what the person wants to achieve and what feels most helpful in practice.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling work, family and other demands. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, quick check-ins and people who prefer typed communication.
