About Gisela
Gisela Delgadillo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She has spent a decade helping people face anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Gisela also draws on Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, listening space.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques are used when practical skills and clear goals will help a client move forward. Gisela pays attention to how culture, prejudice, and discrimination shape people’s experiences. She helps clients untangle family-of-origin patterns, attachment concerns, and blended-family dynamics.
She also supports people managing addiction, infidelity, jealousy, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Sessions focus on concrete shifts: improving communication, setting boundaries, and building self-love. Treatment plans are collaborative and adjusted as needs change.
Gisela prefers short, clear goals alongside deeper conversation when needed. Her practice includes flexible online options such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Gisela works in English and provides therapy from her Florida practice.

How narrative and skills-based therapy work online
Gisela blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help people make changes that matter. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories clients tell about their lives and relationships and helps them re-author those stories. It can be helpful for issues like identity questions, grief, family patterns, and multicultural concerns.Client-Centered work centers on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifiable thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gisela will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. This collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
