Gabrielle Burholt , LPC

Gabrielle Burholt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who brings a person-centered, values-driven approach to therapy. With nine years of experience, she blends clinical training and coaching to help clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and life goals. In addition to her LPC credential, she is an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, which signifies formal training in life coaching, and she also holds certification as an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, a credential for working with substance use concerns.

Gabrielle focuses on each person as an individual with a unique mix of strengths, struggles, and aspirations. She aims to create a supportive space where careful listening, thoughtful reflection, and targeted questions help clients examine patterns, clarify values, and discover internal resources they may not yet have noticed. A central part of her work is helping clients identify what they love and value, then shaping a motivating vision that supports meaningful change for themselves and their relationships.

Her education includes a B.A. in Liberal Arts, a B.Mus. in Music Education, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, followed by additional training in life coaching. Gabrielle views each person she meets as containing mystery, pain, beauty, and promise, and she works collaboratively to help people move toward more fulfilling, value-aligned lives.

Values-based approaches and online care

Gabrielle often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered principles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people find and strengthen personal motivation for change - it is often helpful when addressing substance use, ambivalence, or behavior change.

Client-centered principles guide the therapeutic stance, emphasizing empathic listening and respect for each person's pace and priorities. Finding the right approach is part of the work; Gabrielle partners with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the process to each individual's situation.
