About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW accredited social worker with six years of counselling experience. She works with people facing grief, trauma, anxiety and stress. Gloria uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels hard and find manageable steps forward.
Gloria has supported people impacted by acute and chronic trauma, childhood trauma and sexual assault. She also helps with relationship concerns, codependency, self-esteem, addiction and career stress. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs.
Her style is person-centred and strength-based. That means listening first, then shaping an approach around each person's goals and values. She aims to create a calm, steady environment and to move at a pace that feels doable.
Gloria draws on a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also has training in trauma-focused methods and body-informed practices such as chair yoga and trauma-sensitive yoga.
People who choose Gloria often want clear strategies plus space to reflect. She helps people develop coping tools, work through attachment and abandonment issues, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. To start, a client completes a short questionnaire and books a session based on availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress. It often suits people wanting structured strategies for mood and anxiety. Client-centred work prioritises listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where a person sets the pace and focus of the sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gloria will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to a client's needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work with a therapist whose style and approaches match their needs without changing location. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so arrangements suit your routine.
