About Gisela
Gisela Delgadillo is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and struggles with addiction.
Background and approach
Her work centers on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. She uses straightforward conversations to identify what is most urgent.
Then she helps people build clearer communication, set healthier boundaries, and cope with major life changes. Sessions often include short-term goals and specific skills people can practice between meetings.
Gisela pays attention to cultural background and how identity shapes experience. She addresses issues like prejudice, discrimination, and multicultural stress as part of the therapy process.
That means she looks at both past hurts and current pressures when planning care. Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s values and strengths.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals. Narrative ideas are used to reframe painful stories and foster self-compassion.
People who seek her help often want concrete changes in how they relate to others and themselves. She supports those working through communication problems, infidelity, blended family tensions, and family of origin issues.
The emphasis is on short, practical work and building tools that last.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In an online session this means conversations that follow the client's priorities and pace, helping them name strengths and values to guide change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping after relationship stress.
Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful stories from their past and present. Through guided conversations, clients can separate themselves from harmful labels and create new, healthier meanings about their lives.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process is ongoing and adjustments are made as progress happens.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to get support between sessions.
