About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or substance use. She aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where clients feel heard and can start to make small changes that add up. Gabriele introduces tools and habits that fit into everyday life so progress can be steady and usable.
Gabriele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience.
How Gabriele works
She helps people who are struggling with depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and grief. She also works with concerns such as anger, self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and caring for someone with chronic illness. Her approach blends listening with skill-building.
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, then adds cognitive behavioral techniques to spot links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are taught for distress tolerance, along with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support change. Sessions focus on practical strategies as well as emotional processing.
That can mean learning grounding and breathing techniques, practicing new ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, or making small routine changes for better sleep and self-care. Gabriele emphasizes strengths and workable solutions rather than long lists of problems. She works with people in Missouri and offers remote formats to fit different needs.
Getting support can start with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to talk about goals and what will help next.

How Gabriele’s Approaches Work Online
Gabriele draws on client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, creating sessions that begin with the client’s priorities and goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then practices small changes that reduce distress and improve daily routines. She also teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills like grounding, breathing, and distress tolerance to manage intense emotions and urges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. During early sessions she will listen to what’s most important, discuss techniques that fit the situation, and adapt tools over time based on how well they work. The focus is on finding practical strategies the client can use between sessions as well as in the moment.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and guided mindfulness. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it possible to practice new tools consistently while fitting therapy into everyday life.
