Gabriele Rebbe

Gabriele Rebbe is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. She practices from a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and aims to make people feel understood. Gabriele uses warmth and sometimes humor to ease tension and help conversations start more naturally.

With 22 years of experience, she has worked in many behavioral health settings and supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, and coping with major life changes. She also has experience with clients who have faced physical and emotional abuse and trauma-related symptoms.

Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and dialectical approaches and includes coaching and motivational techniques. In sessions she focuses on what the person wants to change and tailors conversation and practical steps to those goals. This looks like setting clear targets, trying new skills, and checking what helps.

Gabriele also supports people facing end-of-life concerns and hospice-related issues, helping them and their loved ones talk through needs, decisions, and emotional strain. She brings sensitivity to aging, chronic illness, caregiving stress, cancer, and other medical-related challenges.

She offers care in English and German and holds LPC and LCMHC credentials in Vermont and Virginia. If someone is ready to take a step toward change, she works collaboratively to build a plan that fits their life and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of sessions, focusing on listening, empathy, and building rapport so people feel heard and respected. This approach helps when someone needs support making sense of difficult emotions or deciding on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stressful situations by practicing new skills between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings attention to emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want steadier ways to manage conflict and urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans can change as progress is made or as priorities shift.

The original biography does not list which session formats are provided, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person session is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt their tools to work over distance and help people apply skills in everyday routines.
