About Gabriella
Gabriella Stumpf is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people through hard moments. She draws on her professional background and lived experience with mental illness to keep sessions practical and down-to-earth. Parents reading on a phone will find clear, straightforward language and a calm presence in her approach.
Gabriella focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing relationship problems, substance concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes attention to attachment issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and family-of-origin patterns. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
That can mean looking at unhelpful thought patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy, tracking how early relationships shape current reactions with attachment-based ideas, or telling and reframing personal stories using narrative work. She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the moment. Gabriella aims to make therapy practical.
She helps people set small, manageable goals and practice skills between meetings. She is comfortable offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Based in Minnesota, Gabriella works in English and accepts international clients.
She presents herself as a steady guide who will work with each person to figure out what feels most useful and realistic for their life.

How Gabriella adapts therapeutic approaches to online care
Gabriella often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches simple, practical skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Attachment-based ideas examine how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and help people build more helpful ways of connecting and responding.Finding the best approach is a team effort. Gabriella will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most, keeping the plan practical and focused on small changes.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for people who prefer short updates, want to process things in writing, or need flexible timing. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, childcare, and other responsibilities.
