When Relationships, Anxiety, and Life’s Challenges Start to Feel Overwhelming
Are you feeling unheard, misunderstood, or dismissed in your relationships?
Are you having difficulty expressing your needs without starting a fight, or avoiding difficult conversation all together?
Do you have different communication styles in your relationships and struggle to find ways to communicate effectively?
Do you have family members or friends who are not respecting your boundaries?
Do you have difficulty turning your brain off and constantly engage in “what if” thinking?
Do you have a fear of uncertainty and often expect something bad to happen?
Are you feel burn out and feel like you’re navigating too many responsibilities at once?
My Approach
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that can help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. I work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of concerns, including relationship challenges, anxiety, mood-related difficulties, life transitions and stressors, and work-related stress.
In our work together, we’ll focus on developing more effective communication, building healthy coping strategies, navigating difficult emotions, and identifying patterns that may be getting in the way of feeling connected or moving forward. Together, we can explore your values, clarify what matters most to you, and find greater direction and purpose so that your choices and actions feel more aligned with the life you want to create.
Meet Dr. Gabriella Fried, PsyD
Anxiety and Relationship Stress Therapist in NYC
Virtual Therapy offered throughout New York and New Jersey
I believe therapy works best when it is both evidence-based and individualized. I take a warm, collaborative approach, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals. While I believe you know yourself best, I also believe that therapy can offer the tools and perspective to see yourself and your patterns in new ways.
Together, we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, build greater awareness and effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at ease, cultivate richer relationships, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values and what matters most to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Starting therapy can feel daunting and therefore, my goal is to make the process as seamless and supportive as possible. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help us determine whether my style and approach are a good fit for you. If we determine that it is a good fit, we’ll schedule an initial intake session. During this time, I’ll gather a more comprehensive understanding of your history and the concerns that bring you to therapy, and we’ll collaboratively establish clear, attainable goals to guide our work together.
-
You can reach me anytime via my contact page, email, or phone. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
-
I am considered an out-of-network provider.
Many insurance companies offer out-of-network mental health benefits, which may cover up to 50–70% of session fees. I provide a detailed receipt at the end of each session that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits. Helpful questions to ask include:
• Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for mental health services?
• Do I need to meet an out-of-network deductible before reimbursement begins?
• What is my out-of-network deductible amount?
• What percentage of the session fee will be reimbursed for visits with an out-of-network provider? -
I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full session fee.
