About Gisela
Gisela uses clear, direct conversation to uncover what is getting in the way. She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment, and communication. Then she works with each person to try practical steps that can change those patterns. Sessions focus on small experiments, clearer boundaries, and new ways of talking that make daily life easier.
Her work reflects multicultural awareness and an understanding of how prejudice and discrimination can shape feelings and choices. She addresses family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and the fallout of infidelity or separation. Gisela also helps people managing substance use concerns and the stress that builds around them.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for hands-on tools to manage mood and worry. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques help reframe stories and set achievable goals for change.
People who feel stuck in a job, relationship, or life chapter may find the practical orientation helpful. She emphasizes clear steps and manageable practices rather than vague promises. To begin, follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session to see if her approach fits your needs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Gisela commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the client’s experience and following their pace, which helps people clarify what matters most. CBT offers concrete exercises and thought work to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe personal stories so they can see different options and make new choices.Choosing the right approach is something she does with each person. She will review goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process continues as progress is made and adjustments are needed.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during a work break or from home. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule or audio-only sessions if bandwidth is limited. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while managing everyday responsibilities.
