About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people cope with strong emotions and life stress. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can be heard and begin to sort out difficult feelings.
Many come for help with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, or anger management, and she supports them through practical steps toward feeling steadier. Gabriele uses clear, skill-based work alongside listening.
Background and approach
She helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions feed one another. Then she teaches simple strategies to interrupt unhelpful patterns and build better coping skills. Mindfulness and grounding exercises are often part of those skills.
Her way of working is strengths-based and collaborative. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them set realistic goals. Sessions focus on what matters most right now and what small changes can bring relief.
Gabriele draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. That mix lets her balance practical tools with supportive conversation. Topics can include sleep, self-care, relationships, grief, parenting strain, attention difficulties, and mood concerns.
She encourages exploring overall wellness, including diet, exercise, and sleep, as part of managing mood and stress. The goal is not just feeling better in the moment but developing skills to handle future challenges with more confidence.

How Gabriele blends practical skills and supportive conversation online
Gabriele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. She teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and choose different actions when feelings run high. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for distress tolerance, teaching grounding, breathing, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and manage intense emotions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel usable day to day. Together they try tools, monitor what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's life and needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continuing work between sessions. These options help people access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
