About Pamela
Pamela Grove Gougelman is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She aims to help individuals find manageable steps forward and build everyday skills that make life feel steadier.
Pamela uses a mix of practical talk, evidence-informed methods, and hypnotherapy when appropriate to help people reduce overwhelming thoughts and regain control. She focuses on clear goals such as better sleep, healthier communication, and coping with change rather than jargon or long-term labeling.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and mood disorders including bipolar symptoms. Pamela also spends time with issues like self-esteem, relationship tensions, parenting stress, chronic illness, and aging concerns. She listens for each person’s priorities and adjusts the plan to meet those real needs.
Sessions move at a steady, respectful pace. Pamela helps people learn practical skills from cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies, and she pays attention to attachment patterns that affect relationships. Hypnotherapy may be used as a focused tool to support relaxation and new ways of thinking.
People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style will find a direct and compassionate clinician in Pamela. Her aim is to help clients leave sessions with a clearer next step and tools they can use between meetings.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing small changes to break those cycles. It often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety symptoms. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to encourage new perspectives and calm, which some people find useful for sleep, stress, and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Pamela will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your preferences. She adjusts the plan as you progress so therapy stays practical and relevant to your life.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to keep regular sessions during busy schedules or while traveling.
