Gabriela Perkins, LCSW

Gabriela Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with four years of clinical experience. She has supported teenagers and families through crisis situations as well as day-to-day stress, depression, and trauma, helping people rebuild connection and coping skills when life feels overwhelming.

Her work includes collaborating with parents who are navigating parenting challenges and families working to strengthen bonds with their children. Gabriela combines practical strategies with a warm, inviting presence to make therapy more approachable. She has training in Motivational Interviewing, crisis response, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and she has pursued independent research into internal family systems (IFS) concepts to broaden her toolkit.

Gabriela emphasizes a client-centered approach that aims to put people at ease while working toward clear goals. She meets clients where they are, partners with them on problem solving, and seeks answers or resources when a situation calls for additional information. Her practice focuses on parenting, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions, with additional focus on attachment issues, guilt and shame, isolation, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, self-love, and young adult challenges.
