About Gabrielle
Gabrielle McMurphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with three years of clinical experience in North Carolina. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and Gabrielle does not offer services to international clients.
Gabrielle focuses on helping people notice what gets in the way of everyday functioning. She uses clear, practical methods to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build coping skills. Typical sessions include talking through recent struggles, learning specific techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, and practicing ways to respond differently to hard emotions.
Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on close relationships and communication problems. Gabrielle adapts these methods to the issue at hand rather than following a single protocol.
She aims for straightforward, goal-oriented work that helps people make small changes that fit daily life. Gabrielle often helps clients with practical tools for attention and motivation, and with managing symptoms that arise from co-occurring concerns such as chronic pain, caregiving stress, or codependency.

How Gabrielle uses evidence-based approaches online
Gabrielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult emotions while moving toward what matters most.She treats approach selection as a collaborative step. In early sessions she will review your goals and symptoms, explain the methods she commonly uses, and suggest options. Together you will choose what to try first and adjust the plan based on how it works for you.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. The platform asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a quicker check-in when needed, and reduce travel time so work or caregiving responsibilities are easier to manage. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises for remote sessions, including brief skills practice, worksheet-based work, and talking through exposures or values-guided activities.
