About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Pikoulas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, and anger management, and addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, and attention challenges. Gabrielle uses practical, structured methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going and to test out different responses in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her way of listening and shaping sessions around what each person brings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy guides conversations about feelings and how they affect close connections.
Sessions focus on straightforward goals and small experiments people can try between meetings. Gabrielle emphasizes clear steps and exercises rather than abstract discussion alone. She works in a direct, respectful manner and adjusts pace to what a person can handle.
Her approach is practical for life changes, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, career strain, and managing mood swings such as bipolar symptoms. People looking for coaching around goals or help with compassion fatigue and LGBT-related issues will find these topics in her practice.
Gabrielle asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and Gabrielle does not take international clients.
How Gabrielle applies practical approaches in online sessions
Gabrielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety, and then to practice alternative responses. CBT sessions tend to include clear goals, short exercises, and homework to try between appointments.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping the session around what the person brings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when conversations about feelings and relationship patterns are central, helping people name and work with emotions that affect connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical for the person. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed to fit progress and life demands.
