Gabrielle Gough, LCSW

Gabrielle Gough is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people through stressful and painful life moments. She works with adults coping with anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and the strains of chronic illness and caregiving. Her tone is practical and empathetic, aiming to make therapy feel manageable from the first session.

She earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Central Connecticut State University and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University. Gabrielle has five years of clinical experience and draws on that background when supporting people facing loss, end-of-life decisions, or major life changes. She emphasizes clear communication and steady support.

In sessions she offers straightforward help with coping skills, emotional processing, and planning for practical needs that accompany health challenges. Gabrielle helps people talk through feelings, identify small steps forward, and clarify decisions about care and goals. Her approach centers on listening closely and tailoring support to each person’s situation.

Gabrielle often assists people managing caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional impact of aging and hospice concerns. She also supports those facing isolation, life-purpose questions, postpartum mood changes, and issues related to visual impairment. The work blends emotional support with problem-solving and planning.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that help with health and loss

Gabrielle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical coping and emotional processing. One approach centers on teaching concrete coping skills to reduce daily anxiety and manage stress related to illness or caregiving. These techniques help people handle immediate symptoms and build routines that make day-to-day life easier.

Another emphasis is grief and end-of-life support, where the work involves naming feelings, creating space to remember, and talking through advance care concerns and personal goals. This helps people make decisions with greater clarity and feel less alone with difficult choices.

Determining the right approach is a team effort. Gabrielle works collaboratively with each person to figure out what feels most helpful, adjusting strategies as needs and goals change. She explains options, invites feedback, and checks in regularly to refine the plan.

Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, letting people schedule sessions around caregiving, medical appointments, or work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make regular contact more consistent. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions so they fit into a person's routine and immediate needs.
