Gabriele Rebbe , LPC, LCMHC

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, substance concerns, depression, and major life changes. She brings 22 years of experience and a warm, non-judgmental manner to sessions. She speaks English and German and practices from Vermont.

She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. That can mean learning tools to manage strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, or building routines to sleep and feel better. She often mixes coaching with therapy to support both short-term goals and longer change.

Gabriele has worked in many kinds of settings with people dealing with trauma, grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and the stresses of major life transitions. She aims to make clients feel understood, using respect, sensitivity, and sometimes gentle humor to ease tension.

Her approach pulls from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions are tailored to each person, so the conversation and plan reflect what someone wants to accomplish.

People who choose her often want clear tools, direct conversation, and a compassionate guide through change. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and offers support for building a more manageable, satisfying daily life.

Online approaches that focus on skills and collaboration

Gabriele often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and practical problem solving. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for managing intense feelings and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each client and adapt methods together. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting the plan when something isn’t working.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video calls work well for a full session with visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use skills as situations come up.
