Gabrielle Gatto, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Gabrielle!

Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm here to make it meaningful for you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with adults managing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, we'll create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use CBT, DBT, and REBT to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and create positive impacts on your emotions and behaviors. I adapt these evidence-based modalities to meet your unique needs. Together, we'll identify challenges and develop strategies to help you set, achieve, and maintain your goals with confidence.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences. You can expect me to be calm, patient, and empathetic as we go through this process together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. Seeing clients gain confidence or find peace makes this work incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

My goals for you

Therapy is collaborative. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether focused on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As you gain new insights, your goals may evolve, and we can adapt our plan to ensure it remains meaningful and relevant.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely typical to feel nervous. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
