Gabriele Hoog

Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and substance use. She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things. Her style is warm and practical, with attention to day-to-day routines that affect rest and energy.

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, she supports people managing intense emotions, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship strain. She also addresses issues like parenting stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, and attention differences. Sleep and rest are part of the overall wellness work she includes in sessions.

She centers the client as the expert on their life and works from a strengths-based, solutions-focused viewpoint. That means sessions often include building on what already works and setting small, achievable goals. She mixes teaching skills with listening and validation so people feel understood while they try new coping strategies.

Practical tools are a regular part of her approach. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also teaches distress-tolerance and grounding practices drawn from dialectical behavior approaches and invites mindfulness exercises that can support better sleep and calmer days.

Gabriele encourages changes that improve balance and rest alongside emotional healing. She pays attention to daily habits like exercise, diet, and sleep while helping people replace patterns that no longer serve them. Her aim is steady progress and skills people can use long after sessions end.
