About Glorianna

Dr. Glorianna Pionati welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next step. She focuses on listening first. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, and she works to make the room a place to sort through painful feelings and find practical ways forward.

She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and has worked in the field for 25 years. Her background includes work in clinics, schools, and higher education both in the United States and overseas. That range has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's situation.

In sessions she tailors the conversation and the plan to each person’s needs. She often helps people dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, codependency, and challenges tied to identity and life transitions. She also supports work on sleep and eating difficulties, career stress, and parenting strain.

Her practice uses human-centered methods that prioritize the client's experience. She draws on approaches that encourage emotional awareness and clearer communication. The goal is to help people feel more grounded and make changes that match their values.

People who choose her can expect steady guidance and an emphasis on practical next steps. She aims to be a steady presence while you sort through difficult emotions and begin to try new ways of coping and connecting.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood before making changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions and improve how they relate to themselves and others. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values to help people clarify what matters and make more intentional decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and the ability to connect without traveling. If you prefer online options, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, support short check-ins between longer visits, and reduce time spent commuting, all of which can help maintain momentum in therapy.
