About Gisela

Gisela Delgadillo is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting stresses, and life transitions. Her work often focuses on coping with life changes and supporting people through periods of personal upheaval.

She creates a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, exploring attachment and abandonment concerns, and rebuilding self-worth. Gisela pays attention to how culture and discrimination shape each person’s story.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves and their relationships. These methods aim to make small, usable shifts that feel manageable day to day.

Gisela has supported people dealing with blended family issues, divorce and separation, substance concerns, and infidelity. She helps clients sort out family of origin patterns and navigate midlife questions like purpose and meaning. The focus is on concrete goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process. Gisela helps clients set realistic steps toward better communication, healthier boundaries, and more self-compassion. She encourages ongoing reflection so changes last beyond individual sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on attentive listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort through emotions and make decisions about next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing small changes in thinking and action.

Narrative therapy helps people identify the stories they tell about themselves and then rewrite those stories in ways that fit their goals. This can be useful for issues like self-love, family patterns, and cultural identity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.

If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or busy days, and it can reduce travel time and scheduling friction. Discuss practical needs with the therapist to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
