Gabriele Hoog, LCSW

Gabriele Hoog, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 20 years of clinical experience to supporting adults through life’s challenges. She approaches therapy with compassion and steadiness, aiming to create a space where clients feel heard, validated, and safe as they explore difficult experiences, intense emotions, and trauma.

Her work often focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, as well as relationship stress, anger management, and self-esteem. Alongside making room for emotional processing, she emphasizes practical skill-building so clients can develop new strategies for managing strong feelings and shifting long-standing patterns. She also takes an interest in overall wellness, including the role that sleep, self-care, nutrition, and movement can play in day-to-day functioning.

Gabriele views the client as the expert on their own life and works to empower each person to identify and build on personal strengths. Using a strengths-based, solutions-focused approach, she collaborates with clients to create individualized treatment plans. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and supports them in challenging unhelpful thinking so they can respond more intentionally. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach distress tolerance skills, including mindfulness, grounding, and breathing techniques to better navigate intense emotions and work toward greater balance.
