About Gabriel
Gabriel Sarpong is an IL LCPC with 11 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. He focuses on practical steps people can use when life changes make daily routines harder to handle.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Sessions look at specific patterns - for example worry cycles, avoidance, or self-critical thoughts - and introduce small experiments to test new habits.
Gabriel pays attention to workplace dynamics and issues that can come from multicultural backgrounds. He also supports people working through career concerns, caregiving stress, and major health challenges such as cancer or HIV/AIDS. His work addresses both immediate coping and longer-term adjustments.
Clients often work on communication problems, control issues, and relationship patterns like codependency or commitment doubt. He also helps those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, fatherhood concerns, and aging-related questions.
Therapy sessions use a straightforward, problem-solving format. Gabriel draws on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and solution-focused techniques to set achievable steps. People leave with concrete tools to use between sessions and clear ideas about next steps.
How Gabriel applies CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Gabriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what changed - which can fit well into remote sessions.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take action despite difficult feelings. ACT offers simple exercises in values and committed action that translate into short practices between meetings. Client-centered therapy provides a straightforward listening posture that prioritizes the client's perspective and goals rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Gabriel will discuss the methods above and adapt them to the person's goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in on what works and adjusts tools over time so sessions stay practical and focused.
