About

Gabriel “Gabe” Seldess guides people toward better understanding and acceptance of themselves and their lives. He works with clients to identify obstacles to wellbeing and to create a practical road map toward improved mental and relational health.

Gabe begins by clarifying the issues a person is facing and the current life circumstances that shape those concerns, then aligns treatment with each individual’s goals for the future. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with principles from family counseling to examine how experiences form beliefs, expectations, and preferences, and to challenge patterns that are limiting or no longer useful.

His work also incorporates behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to support mood regulation, decision making, and problem solving. Gabe helps clients build communication skills that strengthen self-advocacy and improve relationships.

He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Illinois and brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work. Gabe graduated from the Family Institute at Northwestern and lives and works in Chicago. He has particular experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, parenting concerns, career difficulties, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related challenges, anger management, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and coaching.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level, whether that means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments. Therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and individuals may change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy can therefore provide an accessible, practical route to addressing day-to-day emotional and relational difficulties while fitting into a modern schedule.
