Gabrielle McMurphy , LPC, LCMHC

Gabrielle McMurphy is a licensed mental health counselor who brings a warm, collaborative approach to clinical work. With three years of professional experience and credentials as an LPC and an LCMHC - which stand for Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - she focuses on helping people manage anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. She also attends to compassion fatigue and a wide range of related challenges that can affect daily functioning and relationships.

Her practice is grounded in evidence-based methods and a client-centered stance. Gabrielle combines practical skills training with exploration of personal meaning, drawing from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. This variety allows her to tailor interventions to each person’s needs while supporting emotional safety and growth.

Gabrielle emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental partnership where clients can examine their experiences and develop concrete tools for managing symptoms, improving relationships, and navigating transitions. She aims to create a steady, supportive environment that balances present-moment coping skills with deeper work on patterns and meaning, helping clients move toward clearer priorities and more sustainable well-being.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel significant, and Gabrielle recognizes the courage that requires. Her work centers on meeting people where they are, collaborating on goals, and offering actionable strategies alongside compassionate support.
