About Gloria
Gloria Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, parenting challenges, eating concerns, and major life changes. Gloria speaks English and Spanish and welcomes conversations in whichever language feels easier for the client.
Gloria builds each plan around the person’s strengths and values rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She emphasizes simple, usable tools people can apply when life gets hard. The first step, she says, is asking for help - and she aims to make that step feel achievable.
In sessions she blends client-centered work with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix helps people identify unhelpful thinking, practice new coping skills, and focus on what matters most to them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday problems.
Her background includes work with children, teens, and adults on issues such as parenting skills, addiction recovery, career transitions, self-harm, bullying, and involvement with child protective services. She brings five years of clinical experience in Texas to her practice and uses that experience to help people navigate complex situations.
People who choose Gloria can expect straightforward guidance and practical homework between appointments. She encourages clients to set small goals and to notice progress over time. If someone wants sessions in Spanish, she can conduct therapy in that language.
How Gloria Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful for anyone who needs a space to process feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build more effective coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools help with strong emotions, relationship strain, and problems with impulsive reactions.
Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match approaches to their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
