Gabrielle Lubin

My name is Gabrielle Lubin, I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Florida International University with a Master’s Degree in Social Work with the goal of helping and supporting children and families. I’m a therapist who truly values creating a space where children, teens, and families feel safe, understood, and supported. With over five years of experience, I’ve worked closely with young people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral challenges, self-identity, grief, and other life stressors. I also partner with parents, offering guidance, practical tools, and approaches like parent-child interaction strategies to help strengthen relationships and support growth at home. I enjoy using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical BehaviorTherapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Exposure Therapy, Creative and Expressive Art Therapies, and many others. My style is warm, open-minded, and engaging. I strongly believe that therapy shouldn’t feel intimidating and uninviting, It should be interactive, creative, and even fun. I take a hands-on approach, meeting each client where they are and tailoring sessions to fit their unique needs and personality. Above all, my goal is to help the children and families I work with build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create more fulfilling, balanced, and enjoyable lives.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, flexible, and rooted in creating a space where my clients feel truly comfortable being themselves. I believe that every client is different, with their own unique experiences, needs, and goals, so I don’t take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I meet my clients where they are and tailor our work together to what feels most helpful and meaningful for them. I prioritize building a strong, trusting relationship by listening with a kind, open, and nonjudgmental perspective. My goal is to ensure that all my clients feel heard, respected, and supported at every step. I follow my clients’ pace, check in often, and adjust as needed so that therapy always feels safe and collaborative. At the core of my work is the belief that when clients feel comfortable and understood, real growth and lasting change can happen.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable space where we begin getting to know each other. My priority is to understand what’s bringing you in, as well as learn more about your background, experiences, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I approach this first meeting with curiosity, compassion, and a nonjudgmental mindset, so you can feel at ease sharing at your own pace. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out right away, this is simply a starting point for us to build a connection and begin understanding your needs.

We’ll also talk about what therapy might look like moving forward, and I’ll make sure to answer any questions you may have. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and comfortable with the process ahead.
