About Gloria
Gloria Holland uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. Gloria writes and speaks plainly so people can understand each step they take in therapy.
Gloria blends cognitive behavioral methods with mindfulness and trauma-focused work. She helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Then she practices small, manageable skills together so those patterns start to change.
How Gloria works
Internal Family Systems is part of her toolkit for understanding how different parts of a person respond to pain, loss, or fear. That approach helps people name and calm inner parts that drive self-criticism, avoidance, or addictive urges. Sessions move at a pace the person can handle.
Across three decades Gloria has supported people through a wide range of issues, including abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving stress, cancer-related challenges, and fallout from disasters. She focuses on practical coping skills and clearer communication to reduce daily distress. Her work is collaborative.
Gloria helps people set clear goals, track small gains, and adjust plans when needed. She explains techniques in everyday language and practices them together so new skills feel do-able in real life.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Gloria uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new, more helpful behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, stress, and addictive patterns.She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to build attention and calm. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice the body and thoughts, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm continues to affect daily life. This work helps people process difficult memories and learn coping skills that lessen their hold on current behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through history, goals, and preferences, and then recommend a combination of methods. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written communication or want flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit around work, caregiving, and daily life.
