Gabriela Perkins, LCSW

Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a mental health professional who has provided counseling services for four years in Utah. She has experience supporting adolescents and families as well as working with individuals in crisis and those managing everyday stressors, depression, and trauma. Gabriela has partnered with parents who are navigating parenting challenges and who are seeking new ways to connect with their children.

Her clinical practice draws on several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness therapy, and client-centered techniques. Gabriela aims to create a warm, inviting therapeutic atmosphere where clients feel at ease as they work toward personal goals. When a question falls outside her current expertise, she seeks out additional information to better support the people she works with.

Gabriela emphasizes collaboration and practical tools to address issues such as attachment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, seasonal mood changes, self-harm, self-esteem, and challenges common to young adulthood. Her approach centers on helping clients build coping skills and strengthen relationships while honoring each person’s pace and priorities.
