Gabriela Mano Radunz, ACA

Gabriela Mano Radunz is a psychotherapist with over eight years of clinical experience who focuses on supporting women through emotional and financial transitions. She combines empathy with evidence-informed methods and cultural sensitivity to help clients make values-driven choices while navigating uncertainty or discomfort. She trained with a Bacharel degree in Psychology and pursued advanced studies in Clinical Psychology, bringing a clinical perspective that connects mental health, identity and decision-making.

Gabriela works primarily with women seeking greater autonomy in relationships, finances, time and emotional life. Her practice is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT), approaches she uses to help clients tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. She has particular experience working with anxiety, burnout, trauma, depression, social phobia, career transitions and relationship challenges, and has substantial experience supporting women with ADHD.

Beyond her private practice, Gabriela has provided ethical listening and workplace support, which strengthens her capacity to hold complex emotional material - including shame, fear and ethical dilemmas. Colleagues describe her style as warm and attentive, with the ability to be direct when needed. She views therapy as a process of reconnection rather than repair, offering structure, clarity and gentleness as clients rediscover what matters to them.

Gabriela offers online therapy from Australia in English and Portuguese and is temporarily accepting only Portuguese-speaking clients. She holds the ACA credential and integrates clinical knowledge with practical support to help clients navigate life changes.

How Gabriela integrates therapeutic approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take action in line with what matters to them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and non-judgemental observation of experience, supporting emotional regulation and resilience across many concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gabriela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses and inviting client feedback along the way. Approaches are tailored rather than fixed, with shared decision-making shaping the plan of care.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, access support from their own environment and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can adapt evidence-informed approaches to work effectively through these formats, helping clients move toward meaningful change.
