About Gabriela
Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing trauma, grief, eating concerns, relationship struggles, and LGBT-related issues. She works with people who are coping with abandonment, body image worries, addiction, and family-of-origin conflict.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to make therapy feel manageable and direct for worried parents and adults alike. She brings 15 years of experience to each session and uses a warm, interactive style.
Gabriela listens closely and guides conversations so people feel heard and respected. She believes most people already carry the seeds of healing and just need help finding them.
Her work draws on client-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral ideas. That means she pays attention to past patterns, current thoughts and behaviors, and the relationship in the room.
Sessions can include practical skill building for emotional regulation and communication. Gabriela also uses mindfulness and motivational techniques to help people tolerate intense feelings and make sustainable changes.
She can support someone dealing with codependency, domestic violence aftermath, caregiver stress, or first responder issues. Her goal is to tailor the process to each person’s needs and pace.
She offers services in California in both English and Spanish. Gabriela aims to create a space where people can talk through painful experiences, try new ways of relating, and move toward clearer choices.
Approaches used online and what they do
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood and able to make choices about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage eating-related patterns, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as you learn what works best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and longer discussions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is an issue or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work for short updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
