Gabrielle Gatto , LPC

Gabrielle Gatto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with major life changes. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.

Gabrielle uses proven methods to help clients set clear goals and build practical skills. Early sessions cover what to expect, basic demographic information, and questions a person may have about the process. She emphasizes consistency in appointments because regular work usually produces better results.

Sessions can involve identifying strengths and barriers that affect progress. When an issue falls outside her scope, she will discuss referrals for a higher level of care or specific documentation needs. Gabrielle is open to questions about policies and procedures and encourages clients to raise concerns at any time.

Her clinical interests include compassion fatigue and communication problems, with an additional focus on women’s issues. Gabrielle combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create individualized plans.

She offers sessions via online formats that make scheduling easier for many people. Gabrielle invites those considering therapy to take the first step and talk through their goals so they can plan the next steps together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It emphasizes committing to small, meaningful actions that build a life aligned with personal values. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's perspective, offering empathy and support while the client leads what to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This means trying approaches, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan based on results and comfort.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when video isn't possible or when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage in the therapeutic process.
