About Pamela
Pamela Grove Gougelman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Her practice also addresses relationship strains, parenting concerns, sleep problems, addiction, and career stress.
Pamela focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She helps clients name what feels stuck, try small behavior changes, and build clearer communication. Sessions often include learning coping skills for strong emotions and making plans for difficult situations.
Her work draws on several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-focused methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies may be used when managing intense mood swings or impulsive behavior.
Pamela has particular experience supporting people through life transitions and long-term stress. That includes care-related strain, chronic illness issues, and grief after loss. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, and problems with communication and commitment.
Practical planning and skill practice are part of sessions. Pamela helps people set small goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
BHow sessions work
How Pamela uses therapy approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It teaches values-based action so clients can take small steps toward what matters despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and communication; it helps people recognize those patterns and try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts plans as progress is made and encourages practical skills practice between sessions.

They can allow shorter check-ins, save travel time, and let clients use quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth alternatives when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so skills translate into everyday routines.
