Getting to know Gabrielle Oblena

I'm Gabby Oblena, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and a National Certified Counselor. My primary therapeutic approach is to create a space where clients can fully embrace their humanity, even in a world that often doesn’t make room for it. Together, we’ll meet you where you are. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, identity exploration, and life transitions, drawing on experience from diverse settings including community mental health, advocacy, outpatient care, and youth services. I became a therapist to be the kind of person my younger self needed—someone who offers a safe space to feel deeply, embrace vulnerability, regulate overwhelming emotions, and nurture both self-compassion and compassion for others. My hope is to be that person for my clients, maybe even for you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My counseling style is holistic, non-judgmental, and eclectic. Clients can expect a conversational approach that fosters a sense of safety and being truly seen and heard. I also like to bring in humor and a relaxed, down-to-earth tone to help create a comfortable and supportive space.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Clients can expect a person-centered experience where their unique strengths and story are at the forefront. My goal is to help you grow more comfortable with vulnerability, recognize your capacity for lasting resilience, build healthier relationships with yourself and others, and feel supported as we work through whatever feels overwhelming or complex.
