About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Barrington is a therapist who draws on client-centered and attachment-based approaches to help people make meaningful change. She brings seven years of clinical experience and works from Maryland. Gabrielle holds an MD and practices as an LCPC.
Her sessions are warm and straightforward. She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to set realistic goals. She helps people build routines that support self-care and practice assertive communication.
Gabrielle pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
She guides clients to uncover old beliefs and relationship habits that feed anxiety, low self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness. She then helps people test new ways of relating and acting in daily life. Therapy with Gabrielle often includes practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches.
That can mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small experiments outside sessions. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change. She also addresses intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, body image, and challenges tied to family of origin or blended family dynamics.
Gabrielle is experienced in coaching around career and parenting concerns as well. Her online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Gabrielle aims to make therapy feel like a useful conversation that leads to steady progress.

Online support
How Gabrielle’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Gabrielle uses client-centered and attachment-based methods to shape online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on meeting people where they are, listening carefully, and following the client's goals. This helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer goals, and a plan that fits their life. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat the same relationship habits and then practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Gabrielle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or step-by-step coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep contact going between appointments.
