Gabrielle Layton

I'm Gabrielle! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become the version of yourself that you'd like to see. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach because I think in counseling we should get to the point and have some light moments to break up the hard ones.

My favorite activities when I'm not at work are to explore and appreciate the outdoors by spending time with my very active son and cozying up with a good read when the perfect time aligns (book nerd vibes). I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Sciences majoring in Psychology in 2012. I then went on to complete a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Central Florida in 2015 and have been practicing ever since!

Are you on the journey to stop the cycle? I love to be a guide for my clients finding a new way to live authentically. I've worked with all different types of clients with varied needs. My areas of expertise are in Trauma, Depression, Anxiety and Relational/Interpersonal concerns. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to focus on building strong attachments and also to help clients have a healthier belief system about themselves and the world.

Selecting a therapist on a platform like Headway can be a struggle with so many great therapists to choose from. Will I see progress? Will I be understood? Am I ready for change? These questions are the norm for clients and I'm here to clear up any unknowns. It's my hope to help you to have a more positive mindset as well as to love and accept you, for who you are. In the meantime, consider this, if being hard on yourself worked, wouldn't it have worked by now? Let's figure it out together!
