Gabrielle Gough, LCSW

Gabrielle Gough, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Jacksonville, Florida. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Central Connecticut State University and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University, and she focuses her work on supporting people through some of life’s most difficult challenges. Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, palliative care, end-of-life planning, grief support, and case management. Gabrielle’s interest in social work began after personal experiences with loss, which fostered a deep commitment to offering empathetic, practical guidance to others navigating grief and major life transitions.

In session she emphasizes connection, advocacy, and building coping resources so clients can manage symptoms and regain a sense of purpose. Gabrielle is experienced with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, and related co-morbid concerns, and she also works with people facing isolation, postpartum depression, and challenges related to vision impairment. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a belief in the healing power of empathy. Gabrielle partners with each person to identify goals, develop personalized strategies, and support progress toward improved well-being.

Evidence-Based Support for Grief, Stress, and Caregiving

Gabrielle offers a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each person. She uses skills-focused approaches that help people manage symptoms of anxiety and depression by teaching practical coping strategies, emotion regulation, and behavioral planning to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also provides specialized grief and end-of-life support that helps individuals process loss, navigate advance care planning conversations, and find ways to honor meaning and memory while adjusting to life changes. Additionally, Gabrielle addresses caregiver stress and chronic illness by helping caregivers set realistic goals, build sustainable routines, and cope with role-related burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabrielle collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adapt interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy modalities include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and those with mobility or caregiving constraints. These options make it possible to sustain regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or while traveling, helping clients maintain continuity of care with a licensed professional.
