About Gabrielle
Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, relationship strain, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Gabrielle also focuses on compassion fatigue and related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and body image.
Gabrielle favors straightforward, collaborative work. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name what feels heavy and find practical ways to manage it. Sessions include talking through difficult feelings and practicing skills that can be used between meetings.
Her background combines brief, skills-based methods with deeper emotional work when it is needed. That can look like noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing grounding and emotion regulation skills, and identifying values that guide small changes. Gabrielle explains techniques and checks in to see what helps most.
She offers services in English and does not accept international clients at this time. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Gabrielle aims to be practical and direct in sessions, helping people reduce the burden of guilt or shame that often comes with anxiety, loss, or difficult life shifts.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without letting them control actions. It can help with anxiety, guilt, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by using practical exercises and homework to reduce distress and improve coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what kinds of exercises feel manageable. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills-based work, values-focused work, or deeper emotional processing will be the best fit in sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or meeting from a quieter location to reduce interruptions. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions, so practice between meetings can remain practical and usable in everyday life.
