About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and attention challenges. Gabby aims to help people who snap at loved ones, bottle up resentment, or get overwhelmed by frustration at work.
She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people make small changes that add up. Gabby combines talking through problems with practical skills you can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so sessions look at how thoughts, emotions, and actions link together. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for distress tolerance like grounding and breathing exercises. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques show up when they match someone’s goals.
Gabby stresses a strengths-based, solution-focused attitude. She helps people identify personal resources and build step-by-step plans. That can mean replacing reactive behaviors with choices that feel more manageable.
The work often includes learning new coping techniques and paying attention to daily routines like sleep, movement, and eating. Conversations cover emotions and practical life adjustments. People walk away with tools to recognize triggers and calm intense reactions more often.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Gabriele often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to test and reframe unhelpful thoughts. It is useful for angry reactions that come from recurring negative thinking patterns. DBT skills focus on distress tolerance, grounding, and breathing techniques to reduce the urge to react when emotions are intense.She also uses client-centered principles, which means conversations emphasize the client’s perspective and goals. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about priorities and try methods that match needs and preferences, adjusting as they learn what helps most.
Confirm which session formats are available before you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a phone call when video isn’t possible. The focus is on practical tools and routines you can use day to day, rather than on promises about outcomes.
