About Gabrielle

Gabrielle Pikoulas is a New York licensed mental health counselor with 19 years of clinical experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and related concerns such as depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, crafting conversations and plans that reflect individual needs and goals. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and emotional insight, drawing on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused techniques to address patterns of thought, behavior, and relationship dynamics.

Gabrielle supports work on self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy and relationship issues, career challenges, and fatigue from caregiving or professional stress. Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative process that adapts to their pace, whether exploring immediate coping tools or longer-term emotional shifts.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step feel acknowledged and supported while tailoring treatment to each person’s situation and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gabrielle uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s experience and perspective, creating space for empathy, validation, and collaborative goal-setting that helps clarify what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit and focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Gabrielle works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapts methods over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for each individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access for people with busy lives or mobility limitations. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their chosen location while still receiving structured, licensed professional support and practical interventions tailored to their situation.
