About Gabriela

Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, LGBT-related issues, and family stress. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make each session practical and easy to follow.

Gabriela uses mindfulness practices alongside conversations to help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses. She draws on client-centered listening so people feel heard and respected while they work through hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when needed to build coping tools and emotional regulation.

Her style is interactive and collaborative. Gabriela believes people often hold their own answers, and she helps them discover those answers through guided reflection and skill-building. Sessions focus on clear steps and simple practices that can be used between meetings.

She has worked with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, anger, and coping after trauma. Gabriela also addresses body image, codependency, substance concerns, and end-of-life caregiving stress.

Gabriela speaks English and Spanish and practices throughout California. She aims to match her approach to each person’s emotional and intellectual needs, and she supports people who are ready to take steps toward healing and growth.

How mindfulness and practical therapies translate online

Gabriela commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice physical sensations and thoughts without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach she uses; it emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are so sessions feel respectful and person-focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supplies concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, mood, and eating-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques over time. She tailors mindfulness exercises, listening strategies, and CBT tools to match what feels most helpful for the individual.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time, which can make consistent work easier. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when less screen time is needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
