About Gabrielle

Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who practices in North Carolina.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, among other related areas. Her background combines client-centered warmth with evidence-informed methods to help people build practical skills and make meaningful changes.

Gabrielle’s counseling style emphasizes collaboration and understanding; she aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. With three years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She encourages clients to identify values, develop coping strategies, and practice new skills between sessions. New clients are invited to take a first step by completing the matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Gabrielle works in English and provides care through multiple online formats to accommodate different preferences and lifestyles.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values, often while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is grounded in understanding emotions and attachment needs to improve how people relate to themselves and others, which can be helpful for relationship-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabrielle takes a collaborative stance. She will work with each client to explore which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, accommodate varied schedules, and access care from wherever the client is located within the practice area.
