About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood struggles, or addiction. She focuses on practical skills that make daily life easier. Parents reading this can expect concise, down-to-earth support aimed at real change.
Gabriele creates a calm space to talk about painful experiences and strong feelings. She listens first, then works with each person to build clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions mix emotional support with hands-on techniques to break unhelpful cycles. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to show how thoughts, emotions, and actions connect. That helps people spot patterns and try different responses.
She also teaches distress tolerance skills from dialectical behavior therapy to ease intense moments. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are woven into sessions to boost awareness and keep motivation alive. Gabriele encourages simple changes across sleep, activity, and self-care because small routines add up.
Her approach is strengths-based and solution-focused: clients are treated as experts on their own lives. Together they build a plan that fits each person’s situation and goals. Gabriele aims to help people find more balance and calmer days.

How practical therapy methods translate online
Gabriele uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In simple terms, she helps you spot a thought pattern, try a different response, and then practice the new response until it feels easier. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for distress tolerance and emotion regulation; she teaches grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and short coping tools that can be practiced during strong moments.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Gabriele will talk with you about your goals and try techniques to see what fits. She adjusts methods based on what helps most and invites feedback so sessions stay focused on your priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting quick coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to use tools when they are most needed.
