Gabriele Rebbe, LPC, LCMHC

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with more than two decades of practice. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make people feel understood without judgment.

People who come to her often want practical help with relationships, parenting, career questions, grief, sleep problems, or self-esteem. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care issues, and other complex life challenges. Gabriele draws on coaching skills when clients are ready to make lifestyle changes toward greater wellness.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and increase motivation for change. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals rather than a fixed protocol.

Gabriele has worked in a variety of clinical and behavioral health settings across Vermont and Virginia. She emphasizes clear, practical strategies and often uses light humor to ease tension and build rapport. Many clients find this straightforward style helpful when dealing with difficult histories or trauma-related symptoms.

If someone is ready to explore change, she aims to support and empower them through steady, collaborative work. Her practice is based in Vermont and she communicates in English and German.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Gabriele uses Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy as core parts of her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the person, and building a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small experiments to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each client. She will help clients decide which techniques to try based on their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy week. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio-only when time or bandwidth is limited, while others choose video for a face-to-face feel; confirm current session options before booking. Online work still allows use of CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing conversations, and practical homework that can be tried between meetings.
