Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on self esteem along with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. Her tone is warm and approachable, and she aims to help people build confidence and practical skills for everyday life.
Gabrielle uses clear, collaborative conversations to help people understand what gets in the way of feeling better. Sessions focus on small, doable steps and on tools clients can use between meetings. She prefers straightforward language and practical strategies rather than heavy clinical terms.
Her work draws from several psychotherapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods guide how she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviors, and identify personal values that matter to them.
Gabrielle has three years of clinical experience. She works with a range of concerns such as ADHD, addictions, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include body image, caregiver stress, attachment issues, chronic illness, and communication difficulties.
People who choose Gabrielle can expect a steady, listening presence and practical homework between sessions. To get started, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients at this time.
How Gabrielle Uses Online Methods and Therapy Approaches
Gabrielle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together so the client feels heard and understood. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process tailored to each person's needs, goals, and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people engage from locations that are convenient for them. Gabrielle will work with each person to figure out a practical plan for sessions that fits day-to-day life and therapeutic goals.
