About Gabriela
Gabriela Mikitova is a counsellor with nine years of experience in private practice and school settings. She offers individual therapy for adults and for children and teenagers, and supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other major life changes.
Gabriela blends different therapeutic ideas rather than using a single method. She draws on client-centred listening and practical strategies to help people make small, usable changes. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with space to talk about what matters most.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and working at the client’s pace. She pays attention to everyday problems such as sleep difficulties, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Money and financial issues are also listed among her areas of focus.
Gabriela also pays attention to how deeper life patterns affect current problems. That can include exploration of family dynamics, feelings of guilt or shame, and experiences of abandonment. She uses gentle questioning to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her approach combines practical techniques with reflective conversation. Clients can expect clear goals and steps alongside space to process emotions. The aim is to arrive at practical coping strategies that fit each person’s life.
How her approaches can work online
Gabriela uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means listening carefully, reflecting back what is said, and tracking small shifts in how someone feels and thinks. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and settling intense emotions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical tools such as simple experiments and thought records to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle sleep problems.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Gabriela will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques so they suit an individual's life.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness and CBT exercises between sessions to support change in day-to-day life.
