About Gabriela
Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people struggling with trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, LGBT-related issues, and family problems. She also addresses related issues such as body image, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Her sessions are interactive and straightforward. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior. Conversations focus on what is causing distress now and what small changes could make daily life easier.
Gabriela uses a mix of approaches that fit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work, alongside client-centered methods and dialectical behavior techniques. She draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing as tools when they are useful.
She has experience with a wide variety of problems, including anger and emotional regulation, addiction, family of origin issues, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns. Sessions often involve learning coping skills, practicing new communication habits, and testing different ways of responding to tough situations.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish in California. Gabriela asks straightforward questions at first to understand what matters most, then she and the person set clear, achievable goals. People who come to see her can expect a practical, paced approach aimed at changing everyday thoughts and habits.
How Gabriela uses structured approaches in online work
Gabriela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a clear, skills-based way to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions focus on noticing patterns, practicing new behaviors, and tracking small changes that reduce distress.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Gabriela will help a person decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically clarify priorities, set short-term goals, and try one or two techniques to see what feels useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness or skills practice in the settings where problems occur, which can speed up learning and habit change.
