Gila LoBue
Hi! My name is Gila, and I'm a New Jersey state-licensed clinical psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience assisting individuals with a wide array of concerns. I am truly excited that you are here seeking support. Therapy is one of the most effective ways to help manage difficult emotions and circumstances. Whether you are just seeking support from a professional with an objective stance or are seeking practical tools to manage difficult emotions and situations, you are in the right place. I have many years of experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief and trauma.
After assessing your most important concerns and goals, I apply strategies from a variety of research based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
When meeting with you, I want you to feel supported, respected, and accepted without judgment. My primary goal is to help you gain clarity about what you really want for yourself and develop new effective approaches to manage life’s challenges.
First session
During our first meeting, we would discuss what you are hoping to get out of therapy, and I would also begin obtaining some important history.
Strengths
I enjoy working with individuals between the ages of 30 and 60 years since I find that my life experience lends itself well to help people within this range. As an older adult (55+), I understand major life transitions in addition to relationship issues, anxiety, depression and trauma.
Ideal clients
I love working with individuals who want to understand themselves better and are open to viewing themselves and their issues from a new perspective. Also, those who are willing and ready to put new ideas into practice between sessions.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive therapy is my first "go-to" method as I have found it to be so effective with many clients. I start by providing psychoeducation on the basic concepts before beginning to apply principals in session. CBT offers tools that can be applied in all areas of our life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy provides the client with a non-judgmental space to become more aware of their own needs, obtain insights into current challenges or past events and allows for the client to ultimately come to their own solutions with support from the therapist.
