About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD.
She uses straightforward skills practice alongside conversation. Gabriele teaches clients how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect and how changing one part can change the rest. She also introduces distress tolerance and grounding techniques for intense moments.
Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions combine talking through what is happening now with short, practical exercises to try between meetings.
Gabriele frames treatment around what a person already does well. She works with clients to set clear goals and then tests small changes that might reduce distress or change unhelpful habits. Progress is tracked in simple, observable steps rather than abstract promises.
She also pays attention to daily routines that affect mood, like sleep, eating, and activity levels. That practical focus aims to make coping strategies usable in real life, not just in the therapy room.
To begin, a person completes a brief questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Gabriele then collaborates on a plan that matches the client's concerns, needs, and short-term goals.
How CBT, DBT skills, and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Gabriele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps such as identifying thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking results over time to see what changes. Client-centered approaches mean the conversation centers on the person’s priorities and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting so goals come from the client rather than a script. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught as practical tools for managing strong emotions, including grounding, breathing, and distress tolerance exercises that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Gabriele will review a person’s needs and goals and suggest which techniques to try first. The plan can be adjusted based on what works and what does not, with regular check-ins to keep progress practical and measurable.
The original biography does not specify session delivery formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing brief check-ins during a work break, or letting someone choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. Those practical benefits help people practice new skills in their normal routines without promising any specific service model.
