About Gabriele

Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, trauma, relationship difficulties, and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

With 20 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills training with a compassionate, strengths-based stance so clients can both process difficult emotions and build new ways of coping. She centers the client’s perspective and collaborates on tailored treatment plans that emphasize personal strengths and achievable goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent part of her work, used to help people see links among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice new responses to long-standing patterns. She also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to teach distress tolerance, grounding, and breathing strategies.

Beyond symptom relief, she encourages attention to overall wellness, including sleep, diet, exercise, and self-care, and addresses issues such as grief, parenting challenges, impulse control, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Gabriele aims to create a validating and empowering environment where clients can learn skills, make incremental changes, and move toward greater balance in daily life.

Practical Approaches for Online Skill Building



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences while the therapist supports their autonomy and strengths. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness that help manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to tailor approaches to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and refine the plan so interventions match the client’s priorities and day-to-day realities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular skill practice, brief check-ins, and ongoing support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, which can help sustain progress between sessions and fit therapy into busy lives.
