About Gala
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 22 years of experience, Gala Oliver-Singh helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns. She lists Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her main approaches. Sessions focus on practical changes people can make to respond differently to life challenges.
Gala became an LPC after doing her own counseling work and earning a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. She has worked in outpatient clinics, community programs, school-based settings, and domestic violence services. Those roles included individual, group, and family work in different contexts.
She has supported ethnic and sexual minority communities and has led growth groups for LGBTQ young adults. She has also served as a mental health consultant on identity development and the coming-out process. Earlier roles included providing counseling and support to survivors of domestic violence and their children.
In session she uses a client-centered, relational style and draws on CBT techniques. That means conversations begin with the client’s goals and priorities, then move toward identifying specific thoughts and behaviors to change. The aim is to notice what isn’t working and try new, manageable habits.
Gala notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues, communication problems, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, career matters, and coping with life changes. People can expect an approach that mixes practical skill-building with collaborative exploration of personal values.
To start, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. The practice operates via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach suits issues where understanding values and choices matters, such as identity, relationship concerns, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies specific thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change because it breaks concerns into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gala starts by talking through a person’s goals and preferences, then together they try methods that feel helpful. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needed to fit how a person responds.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some people also prefer shorter or camera-off sessions for lower bandwidth or quieter surroundings. Ask about the available session types when scheduling so you can choose the option that best fits your routine.
