Gabriela Perkins

Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. She aims to make the therapy room feel warm and welcoming so people can speak openly about tough topics. Gabriela uses a calm, practical style to help people sort through parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and the strain of life changes.

She draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Gabriela listens first, then helps people try tools that fit their goals. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that can ease daily stress and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Her background includes work with teens, people in crisis, and families struggling to connect. That experience informs how she supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, seasonal mood shifts, and isolation or loneliness. Gabriela also addresses attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and young adult issues.

She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. If an answer isn’t obvious, she looks for information and options together with the person in front of her. The approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people build skills they can use outside sessions.

Gabriela brings four years of clinical experience to her work as an LCSW in Utah. She offers sessions in English and is not accepting international clients at this time. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule sessions.

How Gabriela’s Approaches Work Online

Gabriela uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online work in a straightforward way. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood, which helps when discussing isolation or parenting struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriela will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so tools are relevant and doable between meetings.

If you are considering online options, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a work break or on a quieter evening. It also lets people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises in the settings where difficulties actually happen, helping skills transfer into everyday life.
