Gabriella Lieto

Gabriella Lieto is a counseling intern at Lifeologie Counseling Oak Cliff, where she works with individual adults and adolescents. She specializes in supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and major life transitions. Gabriella offers both in-person sessions in Oak Cliff and secure online counseling for those who prefer the flexibility of telehealth.

Gabriella’s therapeutic approach integrates several evidence-based modalities, including Person-Centered Therapy, where she creates a safe and empathetic space for clients to feel truly heard, and Trauma-Informed Therapy, ensuring that every session is grounded in trust, choice, and safety. She also incorporates Mindfulness-Based Interventions to help clients reduce stress, increase self-compassion, and stay present, as well as Polyvagal-Informed Therapy to support nervous system regulation and strengthen the mind-body connection.

Known for her calm and grounding presence, Gabriella helps clients feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions, process past experiences, and move toward healing and growth. She believes therapy is a collaborative journey where no one has to walk alone.

Gabriella earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University and is currently pursuing her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern Methodist University. Outside of the counseling room, she enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, and hanging out with her cat, Cleo.
