About Gabrielle

Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and related concerns. Gabrielle aims to offer a calm, approachable presence so people can talk through what feels overwhelming right now.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and small steps. Gabrielle also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to make space for feelings and relationships.

With three years of clinical experience, she aims to balance empathy with concrete tools. Sessions often involve identifying immediate coping steps and trying short exercises together. The work usually moves at the client’s pace while targeting specific problems like low mood, trouble concentrating, or relationship strain.

Gabrielle pays attention to how stress, medical issues, and life transitions affect mood. She helps people manage symptoms and make daily changes that support better functioning. She also addresses areas such as self-esteem, caregiving strain, addiction concerns, and attachment difficulties.

If you decide to start, she asks about what matters most to you and what outcomes you hope for. From there she helps set small goals and tracks progress over time.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Gabrielle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Gabrielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced with homework and short in-session exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered techniques focus on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can work through emotions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Gabrielle will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s helping and adjust tools or pacing as needed so sessions stay relevant to daily life.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. They also let clients practice skills in real-world settings and bring issues from everyday life directly into conversation, which supports applying new strategies between meetings.
