Gala Oliver-Singh, LPC

Gala Oliver-Singh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She draws on a background that includes a Master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University and a long history of work across outpatient clinics, community settings, schools, and domestic violence programs. Her practice emphasizes practical growth and emotional resilience, supporting individuals, families, and groups as they move from reactive patterns to intentional choices.

Gala has a particular commitment to ethnic and sexual minority communities, having led growth groups for LGBTQ young adults, offered Safe Zone education around identity development and the coming out process, and provided culturally informed individual and family therapy. She has also served as a school-based mental health therapist, offering intervention and support services to students and parents, and worked with survivors of domestic violence to promote safety, independence, and recovery.

Her clinical style is client-centered and relational, blending collaborative dialogue with evidence-informed techniques to identify and build healthy new behaviors. Gala aims to inspire and empower clients to create meaningful, sustainable change in their lives, with attention to blended family dynamics, communication challenges, parenting concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Gala Oliver-Singh uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify the values and choices that matter most to them, which is useful for relationship concerns, identity issues, and navigating life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients recognize unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more adaptive alternatives. CBT can be especially effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gala works together with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques so therapy feels aligned with what the client hopes to achieve. That collaborative stance helps tailor care to blended family dynamics, communication problems, parenting questions, or intimacy challenges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect—video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging all make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. These options can increase accessibility and consistency, letting clients maintain momentum and apply new skills between sessions with support from licensed professionals and therapists.
