About Gabriella

Gabriella Stumpf is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a personal perspective shaped by living with mental illness. Gabriella aims to meet people where they are and build practical plans for coping and change.

Her background includes work across different settings and with diverse populations. This has shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, steady support, and skills people can use between meetings.

Gabriella uses several therapy methods to address concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship struggles, and eating and food-related issues. She tends to blend strategies to match a client's situation rather than rely on a single method.

In practice she helps people name patterns, practice new ways of coping, and make changes that fit daily life. Conversations are direct and humane, with attention to emotions and practical next steps.

Clients can expect a calm, collaborative style that balances listening with concrete tools. Gabriella supports people navigating grief, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, family-of-origin issues, and big life transitions.

How Gabriella’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. Gabriella helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more stable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes learning practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood and anxiety problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. This can help with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, and stronger emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gabriella will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts plans as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and relevant.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their week and to continue therapy across locations, but this therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Confirm the available session options before booking so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
