01About Gala
Gala Oliver-Singh is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 22 years of experience to her work in Louisiana. She became a counselor after her own personal journey with change and now focuses on helping people make different choices in how they respond to life. Her style is warm, practical, and focused on small, doable steps.
She aims to help clients find new ways of living that match their goals. Gala uses clear, relationship-based care to help people manage stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
She helps with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career shifts, and changes that come with blended families. People who are navigating LGBT identity concerns, coming out, or questions about ethnic identity will find experience and understanding in her background.
She has run support groups for LGBTQ young adults and consulted on identity development work. She has also worked in school settings and supported survivors of domestic violence. Her clinical approach blends client-centered listening with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools.
She focuses on communication skills, problem solving, and building new habits that reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative - she helps clients set goals and then practices strategies they can use between meetings. Gala wants to create a nonjudgmental space where people feel seen and encouraged.
If someone is ready to try different responses to old problems, she offers straightforward guidance and steady support.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a trusting relationship where the client leads the work. This approach helps people who need acceptance and steady support while they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test what works best for their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try out small behavior changes, and adjust methods based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when lighter bandwidth is needed or for a quicker check-in. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief updates, processing between sessions, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit regular care into a busy life while still using client-centered listening and CBT strategies.
