About Gabriele Rebbe

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, holding licenses in Vermont and Virginia with over 20 years of experience. I have worked as a therapist and behavioral health counselor in a wide range of settings. I have expertise with clients with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and substance use issues, as well as clients who look to make life style changes in the arena of wellness. Many of my clients experienced physical and emotional abuse with trauma related symptoms and I have been able to help them.

I connect with clients by making them feel comfortable and understood in a non-judgmental way. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I frequently use humor to ease tension, fear and to break the ice when coming to counseling. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectic behavioral and feminist approaches, as well as mentoring and coaching. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“Gabby Is great! She’s thoughtful, encouraging, she doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, and is honest. If I’m working through therapy, I don’t want someone that just listens, I want someone honest that can get me through the next steps. She’s great :)”

“Gabriele is attentive, thoughtful and down-to-earth. She was able to create an environment where both my partner and I felt heard and supported—which allowed for open-hearted dialogue and a sense of “we’re in this together to figure this out.” Gabriele is professional, warm, direct and realistic. Each meeting is productive—moving relationship blocks that have been building for years! Now my partner and I feel like a team again, while also grounded individuals. I highly recommend Gabriele.”
