Hi, I'm Gabriell! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident and achieve your goals. Outside of work, I'm a mom who enjoys spending time with my family, staying active, relaxing at the beach, and reading whenever I get the chance. I also have a cream mini dachshund named Honey, who may occasionally make an appearance during our virtual sessions!

Accepting new clients!

Therapy isn't about perfection - it’s about showing up as you are, wherever you are. Whether you’re navigating grief, postpartum changes, or the weight of life’s stress, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can feel supported, heard, and ready to move from survival mode toward healing.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re used to caring for everyone else first. I see that kind of devotion as a quiet strength, and my goal is to help you begin caring for yourself too—even if it feels unfamiliar.

I have over 10 years experience in private practice and in home therapy, truly getting to know my clients, their families, and home lives with focus in anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and stress management.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello my name is Paula Poblocki and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my MS from Rutgers University in Clinical Mental Health. I have been described by clients as being "authentic/genuine, down-to-earth, no-nonsence, and spirited " in sessions. I am passionate about helping clients identify and overcome the obstacles in their lives, so they can enhance their overall quality of life. I aim to provide solution-focused, affirming, and holistic therapy. Although I pride myself in being a well-rounded therapist, I do have a background in working with Women's Issues, College Students/ College Transitions, Substance Use Disorder Maintenance, and Mindfulness/Meditation. I am also an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist too!

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to resolve personal and relationship challenges, while developing healthy coping strategies and lifestyle habits that lead to a better quality of life. A central focus of my work is helping clients access, understand, and manage their emotions.

I support people navigating relational conflict, job-related stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, fear, grief, ADHD and trauma. My training and personal and professional experience have equipped me to address matters of the heart while incorporating faith-based interventions that support holistic healing when appropriate.

I hold a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. My approach focuses on seeing the whole person rather than just symptoms.
