About Gloria
Gloria Gitlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She combines her background in psychology and linguistics to look closely at how language and thought shape feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
Gloria focuses on clear, practical work rather than long theory sessions. Gloria draws on several therapeutic methods to meet people where they are.
She pays attention to thoughts and beliefs that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Sessions include talking through patterns, noticing how language frames experience, and practicing small changes that shift daily reactions.
She emphasizes a straightforward approach to relationship and communication problems. Gloria helps people untangle control issues, repair hurts from separation or betrayal, and rebuild self-esteem after shame or isolation.
She also addresses life transitions, ADHD-related struggles, and social anxiety with concrete tools. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Gloria listens first, then offers practical steps someone can try between sessions. She uses exercises from cognitive-behavioral work and acceptance-oriented strategies to help people change what they do, not just what they think about.
People who prefer clear explanations and actionable goals often find this approach useful. Gloria helps identify what's getting in the way, then tests small changes to improve daily life.
The work aims to reduce distress and increase the capacity to cope and connect.
Online approaches that focus on thoughts and connection
Gloria often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them; ACT emphasizes values-based action and practical steps toward what matters. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and to practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific behavioral experiments that change daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gloria will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they try approaches, adjust as needed, and pick tools that match the client's needs and preferences rather than relying on a single method.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video offers face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth alternative, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief skill practice between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to stay consistent with sessions.
