About Gabriella

Gabriella Stumpf brings eight years of clinical experience as an LICSW to her work in Minnesota, combining professional training with personal insight into mental illness. She draws on a range of therapeutic perspectives to create a flexible, holistic practice that responds to the unique context each person brings.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across multiple settings and with diverse presenting concerns, which informs a practical, evidence-informed approach. Sessions are guided by an emphasis on building understanding and actionable skills, using methods such as Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based Therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as appropriate.

Gabriella aims to balance compassion with structure, helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns like addiction, self-esteem challenges, bipolar disorder, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that adapts to goals, preferences, and changing needs while honoring each person’s story and resilience.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Gabriella commonly uses Internal Family Systems to explore the different parts of a person’s inner world, helping people understand internal conflicts and build greater self-leadership. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine relationship patterns and early relational wounds, offering pathways to more stable connections and healthier interpersonal boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend elements from multiple approaches so the plan evolves with progress and changing concerns rather than sticking to a single method from the outset.

Online therapy with Gabriella is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skills practice, and therapeutic guidance whether someone is balancing work and family, managing mobility constraints, or living outside Minnesota.
