Gloria Gonzalez, LPC

Gloria Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and trauma. She works with parents and individuals who are coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, body image struggles, and major life changes. Gloria speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations easy to follow for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Her approach centers on identifying a person’s strengths and building practical skills. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on tools people can use between meetings. Gloria often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, listening space where a person’s values guide the work.

Gloria brings five years of clinical experience in Texas settings. That time includes work with people affected by domestic violence, separation and divorce, caregiver stress, and community crises. She has experience addressing eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, anger, dissociation, and attachment-related problems.

Her style is solution-focused and straightforward. She helps people set small goals, test new skills, and track progress over time. Conversations are practical and aimed at making everyday life more manageable.

To begin, Gloria asks about current challenges, history, and what the person hopes will change. From there she collaborates on a plan that fits the person’s schedule and needs, with options for video, phone, chat, or text support.

How Gloria Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people identify their own goals. Gloria creates a respectful space online where the person's values and priorities guide the work and pacing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions often include setting small experiments, practicing new skills, and tracking progress between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Short skills practice and step-by-step coaching can fit well into video or text formats when needed.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Gloria will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. She checks in about what is helping and what should change so the approach stays useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full discussions and skill demonstrations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief guidance between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day demands.
