Gabriela Lozano , LMFT

Gabriela Lozano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents, offering support for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, anger management, emotional regulation, coping skills, and eating disorders. Much of her work addresses the impact of emotional trauma and emotional abuse, which she identifies as a frequent root of patterns that bring people to therapy.

Her therapeutic presence is warm and interactive, grounded in the belief that people hold many of the answers they need for healing when they are truly heard, respected, and valued. Gabriela combines client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral techniques, along with psychodynamic and humanistic influences, to tailor treatment to each person’s emotional and intellectual style. She draws on this integrated approach to help clients explore issues related to family dynamics, grief, LGBT concerns, eating and body image struggles, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, substance use, domestic violence, and caregiver stress, among other focus areas.

Gabriela provides services in English and Spanish and works collaboratively to help clients identify goals and practical steps toward change. She is not accepting clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Gabriela uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and emotional regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabriela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable for the individual.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapy from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
