About Gabriela
Gabriela Hall-Chung is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career challenges. She communicates plainly and directly so people can focus on practical change.
Gabriela began work in mental health and substance use in 2001 and became an LMHC in 2006. She holds a master’s degree in counselor education. Over nearly two decades she has supported people facing a mix of behavior-related and substance-related addictions alongside mood and relationship problems.
Her counseling style is interactive and reality based. Sessions are a mix of talking things through, learning new ways to respond, and practicing small changes between meetings. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, humanistic perspectives, and mindfulness techniques to help clients notice patterns and try different approaches.
Gabriela values straightforward feedback and clear goals. She does not use stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps clients can take to reduce reactivity, manage frustration, and rebuild trust in relationships. Work can include emotion regulation skills, thought restructuring, and mindful awareness exercises.
People who come to Gabriela often want to cut through cycles that keep anger, worry, or mood struggles active. She helps identify triggers, test new responses, and set realistic next steps for daily life.
How Gabriela uses proven approaches in online work
Gabriela draws on cognitive-behavioral approaches to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behavioral responses. That method focuses on practical exercises and small experiments to reduce reactivity, relieve anxiety, and change patterns that feed anger.She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to increase moment-to-moment awareness of feelings and bodily cues. Mindfulness practice can help people notice the early signs of escalation and choose a different response before anger rises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust the mix of skills, discussion, and practice as progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work when managing caregiving, job hours, or other obligations, so therapy can fit into everyday life rather than interrupt it.
