About Gloria
Gloria Whitcraft is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Indiana with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Background and approach
Gloria emphasizes client strengths and works alongside people as they take steps toward change. Gloria believes each person knows their own story.
She helps people name what matters most and build on the strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.
Her work often addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and the strain of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with isolation or loneliness, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Gloria uses clear tools to help manage symptoms and improve interaction patterns. Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method.
She listens first, then offers strategies that match a person’s goals. Therapy can include skill-building, problem-solving, and guided conversations to shift patterns that cause pain.
Gloria aims to make the process collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress.
Her style is supportive, respectful, and focused on real-life results.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict through specific conversation skills and behavioral exercises; it can help when relationship patterns feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space to explore problems and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, helpful reminders, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
