Gabrielle Gough, LCSW

Gabrielle Gough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical support for people coping with hard life moments. Her manner is steady and supportive, aimed at helping clients feel less overwhelmed and more able to make small changes.

Gabrielle draws on five years of clinical experience working with individuals who are navigating loss, illness, caregiving demands, and end-of-life questions. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people name their challenges and set manageable goals. Sessions often include emotional support, problem-solving, and planning for next steps in daily life and care needs.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Central Connecticut State University and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University. Those degrees supported years of practice in clinical and care coordination roles across settings in Jacksonville and the surrounding region.

Gabrielle pays particular attention to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and long-term illness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and related concerns like isolation and life purpose. She also works with people navigating postpartum depression, forgiveness, and self-love.

Her approach is collaborative: she partners with each person to decide what helps most. Practical steps, emotional processing, and planning are woven together so people can move forward at their own pace.

Evidence-based approaches and how online work can fit

Gabrielle describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on compassionate support and practical planning. One common approach she uses centers on grief and end-of-life support, which involves helping people process loss, clarify values, and make decisions about care and legacy. This approach can help with hospice and palliative concerns, and with mourning changes in roles and routines.

Another key focus is problem-focused support for anxiety, stress, and caregiver strain. That means identifying specific stressors, building small coping steps, and creating realistic plans to reduce overwhelm. For chronic illness and pain, she works on daily management strategies and emotional coping to improve functioning and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabrielle partners with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as issues evolve and as clients report what helps them most.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not listed in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from wherever they are in Florida. The therapist will discuss which session pattern best fits your schedule and goals.
