About Gisela
Gisela Delgadillo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She focuses on common adult concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting strains, and addictions. Gisela also addresses blended family issues and other family-of-origin concerns.
Her work is practical and conversational. She helps people talk through relationship patterns, communication problems, and moments of doubt about life direction. She listens for what matters most and then looks for concrete next steps.
Gisela combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to fit the problem at hand. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing small changes, or rewriting a personal story to reflect strengths. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings.
She pays attention to cultural background and experiences of prejudice or discrimination. That perspective shows up when exploring identity, attachment, and family expectations. It also shapes how Gisela discusses conflicts that arise in blended households.
Practical matters are part of the work. Conversations may include setting boundaries, improving co-parenting communication, managing jealousy, or coping with loss and separation. Gisela encourages small experiments that help people notice different results in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In practice that means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps people notice their own priorities and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to see if they shift mood or relationships.
Narrative Therapy treats personal problems as separate from the person and invites people to reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This can be useful for addressing family roles, attachment worries, or issues tied to cultural identity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as those goals evolve.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find virtual sessions easier to attend during work breaks, quieter parts of the day, or when they prefer not to travel for an appointment.
