About Gloria
Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD symptoms, and life transitions. She aims to make early sessions straightforward and practical so families and individuals can feel understood quickly.
Her work tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Gloria uses client-centered methods to listen first, then applies cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
How Gloria works
She also draws on solution-focused and mindfulness techniques to build day-to-day skills that reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, self-esteem, and routine management. Gloria brings two decades of practice to common life struggles like career crossroads, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, and money or workplace problems.
She also supports people dealing with mood disorders such as bipolar, seasonal affective patterns, and the low energy that comes with depression. Practical steps and small experiments are common in her sessions. Sessions tend to balance talk with concrete tools for coping, time management, and communication.
Gloria highlights strengths and keeps plans simple so goals feel achievable. She avoids trauma-focused work, and that is not part of her practice. People who want a straightforward, strengths-based approach often find her pace and structure helpful.
She works with clients to name clear goals and build modest, steady steps toward them.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy begins with listening and prioritizing each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify what matters most so sessions stay focused on real priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Gloria uses CBT to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments that can lift mood, improve sleep, or reduce anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gloria will discuss your needs and goals and adjust methods over time so sessions fit how you prefer to work. That collaborative process helps shape whether therapy uses more mindful practices, structured CBT tasks, or brief solution-focused planning.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and quick coaching for immediate stressors. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
