About Dr. Vera Gabliani, Ph.D., Holistic Therapist Online in Missouri

You’re seeking something more.

Let’s find it…together.

Deep down, you know the way you’re living isn’t working.

Just trying to juggle everything going on is enough to leave you completely exhausted at the end of the day. Maybe you feel too overwhelmed to even catch your breath, let alone know where to start with making a change.

The good news is:

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Let me first reassure you that it is completely okay to have the feelings you’re having, and to be confused about what you need to feel better. Everyone has messy thoughts, feelings, and reactions they don’t like—myself included. I also know what it feels like to work through these things, and want to cheer you on as you grow beyond the old stories and beliefs that have been holding you back.

It’s clear that just talking about what’s happened isn’t enough.

You deserve more than just a place to blow off steam and a therapist who nods and smiles through your appointments. You deserve the time, space, tools, and support you need to truly feel better.

Visualize your mind as a garden…

In order for the garden to flourish, the soil has to be rich enough to provide a proper foundation. If it’s not, no amount of watering the seeds you’ve sown will make them grow. 

In the same way, your nervous system provides the foundation for your health and mental wellbeing — it’s the soil. Experiences we have early in life can affect that foundation long-term, training us to act and react in certain ways even if we’re not consciously aware of it. 

And just as a gardener would cultivate their soil before planting new seeds, you must actively give your nervous system the nourishment and care it needs in order to see growth within.

How I work

Therapy with me…

  • My clients have often said they knew right away that they could tell me anything without fear of judgment or criticism. I will honor you and the trust you are placing in me. I want you to feel heard, seen, and understood.

    I also want you to know that I’ve done the work of changing my own life through the same methods and tools I’ll teach you. My 30+ years experience as a psychologist and 60+ years of experience as a human have given me the wisdom to know that no matter what you’re going through now, you deserve the support and practical feedback you need to grow and move through it.

  • For people who have tried traditional talk therapy in the past but didn’t get the long-term results they were hoping for, a more holistic approach — meaning one that incorporates how your mind, body and spirit are connected — may be more effective.

    Together, we’ll work to identify the reactions and sensations that come along with your emotions, and learn to use tools and techniques to help you regain control of your reactions. Then, you’ll take the tools we use in-session out into your everyday life, and feel empowered by them.

    Along with being a licensed psychologist for more than 30 years, I come from a long line of healers who used their wisdom and their awareness of our interconnectedness with each other and all life to empower themselves and others. They passed this knowledge through generations and, eventually, down to me.

    I’ve embraced some approaches that would be considered “non-traditional” — such as mindfulness, energy psychology, and somatic practices — because they bring people real results.

  • Ultimately, the time we spend together is your time. We’ll regularly check in with how you’re feeling about your therapy experience, and adjust your goals and our approach to reaching them as needed.

    If you’re going through a particularly rough patch, we can meet more frequently. If you’re feeling good about your progress and want to meet less often, that’s an option as well. Nothing is set in stone, and my only goal is to give you the support and guidance you need, whatever that may look like at any given moment.
