LMHC, 21 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello, my name is Virginia Gibala. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have been practicing for over twenty years. I have had the honor to help children, adolescents, adults, and older adults create a healthier life and environment for themselves and their love ones. I have over five years of experience seeing client through telehealth.
On our first session, first of all you will feel comfortable and completely understood about what you are going through.
I am a very open minded person that would have to judgement about what you are going through or who you are. I believe that I am very good at what I do because I am very present during our sessions. A lot of my clients expressed improvement when working with me and I think it i because I help them feel more confident about accomplishing their mental health goals.
I am here to help whoever is a place in their lives to make some positive changes to improve their quality of life.
CBT is good for clients because it teaches them to identify and change negative thought patterns, leading to healthier emotional responses and behaviors. It provides practical coping skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other issues, empowering clients with techniques to overcome present-day challenges and prevent emotional relapse.
This therapy benefits clients by fostering a stronger therapeutic alliance through trust and understanding, which leads to more effective treatment and better mental health outcomes.
This method is good for clients because it helps them develop emotional intelligence and create more positive life thinking by directly addressing their emotions to improve relationships and self-understanding.
This approach helps clients manage difficult emotions, break negative thought patterns, and respond to challenges with greater clarity and resilience. It helps them to improve self awareness.
Solution-focused brief therapy is good for clients because it focuses on their strengths and resources to create solutions, rather than dwelling on problems. This approach empowers clients, builds their confidence, and leads to faster, more cost-effective progress by focusing on a preferred future and small, actionable steps
