    About Gabriele

    Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and other life challenges. Gabby focuses on listening first and helping each person feel heard and validated before moving forward.

    She helps people learn practical skills for managing intense emotions. That can include grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and ways to break automatic reactions. She also works on thought patterns using cognitive behavioral methods to help people choose different actions over time.

    Gabriele takes a strengths-based, solution-focused approach. She partners with clients to create a personal plan that builds on what already works for them. She pays attention to mental health alongside basic wellness routines like sleep, movement, and self-care.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for supporting change when motivation feels stuck. She pairs that with client-centered listening and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach distress tolerance and mindfulness skills.

    Gabriele practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people make steady, practical changes that restore balance and reduce the daily burden of anxiety, mood problems, relationship strain, and stress.

  2. How motivational and skills-based work translates online

    Gabriele uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and build readiness for change. That approach focuses on listening, drawing out a person’s own reasons for change, and supporting small, practical steps toward those goals.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the person’s experience. This means the therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps the client make choices that match their values and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and to practice new responses to old patterns.

    Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Gabriele collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and let skill practice be tied to everyday routines. Online work can also allow focus on breathing practices, grounding exercises, and thought-challenging homework that translate well to sessions without requiring extra travel.
