How Gladys works
Gladys draws on 25 years of clinical experience to tailor strategies to each person’s situation. Her style is respectful and upbeat. She listens carefully and helps people identify patterns that keep problems going.
Then she offers tools and exercises to build new habits and responses. Gladys earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Social Work from Boston University and holds a LICSW. Her background includes long experience working with English- and Spanish-speaking clients, and she is familiar with the stresses many immigrant families face when adapting to a new culture.
She also served 21 years in the U.S. Army Reserves, supporting soldiers and their families through deployment cycles. That work shaped her focus on practical coping skills and clear communication.
Gladys works with adults and conducts sessions in both English and Spanish.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Gladys often uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them into more helpful ones; this approach can ease anxiety, depression, and mood fluctuations. She also uses mindfulness techniques that teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus. Strengths-based work highlights a person's existing skills and builds on them to solve current problems and boost self-confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That plan can be adjusted over time so methods match what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling simple, and they can fit around work, school, or caregiving duties.
