Gabriella Stumpf , LICSW

Gabriella Stumpf, LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), brings eight years of professional experience to her therapeutic work and speaks from personal understanding as someone who has been affected by mental illness. She combines a holistic perspective with a compassionate stance, tailoring each session to the unique needs and life circumstances of the person she is supporting. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Gabriella has worked with diverse populations across different settings and modalities, and she remains flexible in adapting therapeutic approaches to fit what clients need in the moment. Her training and clinical approach draw on attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness techniques, among others, to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate transitions. Gabriella provides services in English and holds licensure in Minnesota, and she is experienced in offering sessions through multiple remote formats to meet varying preferences and schedules.

Approaches That Translate to Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in close connections. In online sessions this approach explores relationship dynamics, attachment needs, and ways to build more secure connections in current partnerships or family systems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to shift them. Delivered remotely, CBT can support managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills such as thought restructuring, behavioral activation, and problem-solving.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices offered online can be brief and adaptable to daily routines.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Gabriella works with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage childcare or work constraints, and connect when in-person options are limited. These remote formats allow therapists to deliver structured interventions, skills practice, and relational work in ways that are accessible and responsive to individual circumstances.
