Gabriela Lozano

Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with over 15 years of experience. She helps people facing eating concerns, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and LGBT-related issues. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to make people feel heard and respected from the first visit.

Gabriela draws on several ways of working to match a person's needs. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to build emotional regulation when feelings run high.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Gabriela asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers exercises or skills to try between sessions. She often explores family of origin patterns and how past events shape current eating and relationship struggles.

She speaks English and Spanish and has worked with many people coping with trauma, codependency, caregiver stress, and body-image concerns. Gabriela helps clients untangle guilt, shame, and control issues that often sit behind eating problems.

Gabriela describes therapy as a journey where the client already has many of the answers. She aims to guide, support, and challenge in ways that fit each person's emotional and intellectual style. If someone is ready to take a step toward healing, she offers steady support along the way.

How Gabriela’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and guiding exploration of their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Gabriela will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which tools to use and adjust the plan as things change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as scheduling appointments around work or caregiving obligations and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between appointments, helping therapy blend into daily routines.
