Gloria Holland, LMFT

Gloria Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She uses practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and problems with self-esteem. Gloria aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness methods to teach breathing and attention skills that reduce reactivity. For people recovering from abuse or traumatic events she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and reactions.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Gloria listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. She encourages practical tools that can be used between sessions, such as thought records, brief mindfulness exercises, and behavior experiments.

Gloria has worked with individuals, couples, and families over three decades. That range of experience shapes a flexible approach that can shift as someone’s needs change. She aims to support each person’s sense of agency and resilience.

Her practice is based in Mississippi and she conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting therapy follow a short online matching process and schedule according to availability.

Remote therapy using CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work

Gloria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different actions that can change how they feel. CBT emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented work and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. For people affected by abuse or traumatic events she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy to gently process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.

Online therapy with Gloria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing notes between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
