About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Michigan licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical and academic experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and issues tied to trauma or addiction. She speaks English and Spanish and has experience with bilingual clients and intercultural concerns.
Her approach centers on person-centered and interactive work. Sessions are conversational and practical. She blends narrative, mindfulness, Jungian, existential, and relational ideas to help people clarify values and patterns. Sessions often focus on what a person wants to change and how to take small, manageable steps toward that goal.
She has a long history supporting BIPOC clients and bilingual Spanish speakers, including people navigating immigration-related pressures and discrimination. She also has experience with survivors of physical and emotional trauma and people managing persistent mental health challenges. That background informs how she listens and plans treatment with each person.
In therapy she helps people examine relationship patterns such as codependency, commitment concerns, control and communication difficulties, and family of origin issues. She combines listening with practical strategies so people can experiment with new behaviors between sessions. Music and creativity are part of her life and sometimes shape how she thinks about growth.
New clients are asked to identify what matters most to them, and then she and the client develop a focused plan. The work emphasizes increasing self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and improving everyday functioning. Progress is discussed regularly so plans can change when needed.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, which can help with relationship patterns, self-esteem, and life changes.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from recurring problem patterns like people-pleasing or codependent behavior so new choices become visible.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience. Simple mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on what fits a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the day, or remove the need to use video if someone prefers audio only. Talk with the therapist about how sessions could be scheduled and structured to suit your routine.
