Gloria holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and has five years of clinical experience in Texas.
She brings hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns, including addictions and serious mood issues like bipolar disorder.

Gloria likes to set concrete, achievable goals so progress is visible and steady.
She explains steps clearly and checks in on what is working. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Gloria emphasizes practical changes over jargon and helps people build routines that fit daily life.

Online Approaches That Focus on Skills and Connection
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building therapy around each person’s values and strengths. This approach helps people feel understood and sets the stage for practical change by identifying what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often involve tracking unhelpful thoughts, testing more useful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It is useful for improving coping during intense emotions, reducing acting-out behaviors, and strengthening communication when relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gloria will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She uses short-term exercises and longer-term skill building as needed, and checks in regularly to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
