About Gabriele

Gabriele Rebbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Vermont and has worked in many clinical and behavioral health settings. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, relationship and parenting concerns, and those seeking lifestyle or wellness changes.

She has experience supporting people who have faced physical or emotional abuse and trauma-related symptoms. Her work also addresses grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, and domestic violence.

Gabriele uses straightforward conversation and a down-to-earth style. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person's own goals. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help change unhelpful thoughts and improve emotion regulation.

She also uses mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and to build practical skills. Gabriele often adds mentoring and coaching elements to sessions and will use humor to ease tension when appropriate.

Gabriele speaks English and German. Her licensure includes VA LPC and VT LCMHC. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches you can use in online sessions

Gabriele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT focuses on practical steps and exercises that aim to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms by changing thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach specific skills for managing strong feelings, improving relationships, and coping with urges that lead to destructive actions.

Mindfulness practices are another component she brings into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with sleep problems, stress, and managing anger by creating space between a feeling and a response.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to test tools, review what helps, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift focus as challenges change and progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Ask which session options are available and how they fit into your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so practice can be scheduled around daily responsibilities.
