About Gala
Gala Oliver-Singh is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and challenges related to LGBT identity. She also works with people navigating career shifts, self-esteem struggles, blended family issues, and communication problems.
Her work emphasizes clear, practical steps rather than vague advice. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep problems going and trying different ways of responding. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice alternatives.
Gala explains things in plain terms and treats progress as a process with small experiments. She draws on experience from outpatient, school-based, community, and domestic violence settings to shape how she talks about safety, boundaries, and next steps. Past roles included supporting LGBTQ young adults, consulting on identity development, and providing therapy across age groups.
In sessions she helps people identify specific behaviors to change and sets practical goals for daily life. Conversations may include role-play, skills practice, and homework to try between meetings. The emphasis is on usable skills that can reduce anxiety, improve communication, and help manage grief or traumatic memories.
People who prefer structured, collaborative work that focuses on thinking patterns and everyday habits tend to find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match scheduling and technology needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gala uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT is practical and focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or stress by breaking them into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is another main approach and emphasizes listening, collaboration, and letting the client set goals and pace for change.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans together based on what helps most. That means sessions can combine structured CBT exercises with open, client-led conversation as needed.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins, reduce travel time, and fit appointments around work or family commitments. The therapist will help plan homework and between-session tasks that match the format you choose.
