About Gabriele
Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood disorders, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting strains. Gabriele supports people who are coping with life changes, sleep or eating difficulties, and caregiver stress.
She favors straightforward sessions that include skills practice as well as talking through problems. Gabriele teaches techniques to notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also shows distress tolerance and grounding practices to manage intense emotions when they arise.
Her approach leans on client-centered work and solution-focused conversations. That means she helps people use their own strengths while setting practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox for emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing may appear when someone is weighing changes, like addressing substance use or shifting routines. Sessions aim to combine talking, skill-building, and small action steps people can try between meetings.
Gabriele names caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness, impulsivity, and financial worries among the issues she addresses. She helps people break cycles of reacting and begin choosing different responses in daily life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Gabriele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and behavior experiments that can be tried between meetings to see what works for everyday life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, teaching distress tolerance, grounding, and simple mindfulness techniques. These tools are taught step by step so someone can use them during moments of strong emotion or to reduce reactivity over time.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, life demands, and what feels most useful. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust plans rather than assuming one method will fit every problem.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when coping with busy schedules. Talk and skills practice translate well to a remote format, and planning concrete exercises between sessions helps make progress in daily life.
