Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as what comes up in the moment.
She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress. Her work includes supporting people with communication or commitment problems and those dealing with separation or the effects of trauma.
Her background includes experience with adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings. In conversation she tends to be direct and practical, helping people set clear goals and identify small steps toward them. She asks about current obstacles and builds on strengths the person already has.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Dr. Gibbs often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for persistent guilt or avoidance. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches specific techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift emotional responses in close relationships. That approach can help when guilt or shame is tied to conflicts or connection problems. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she will work with the client to find methods that match their goals and preferences and may combine strategies as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. Therapists in general can adjust pace and tools to suit remote meetings, and Dr. Gibbs discusses practical details when clients complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange their first session.
