About Gloria
Gloria Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and the knock-on effects of trauma and abuse. Gloria also addresses codependency, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, and coping with major life changes. She offers services in English and Spanish.
Her approach centers on practical skills people can use between sessions. She focuses on strengths and values and helps people build tools to handle immediate problems. In sessions she talks through patterns that leave someone putting others first or struggling to set limits. She also helps people manage strong emotions and reduce behaviors that cause harm, such as problematic use of substances or self-injury.
Gloria draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in each person’s goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and better interpersonal coping.
Her background includes work with individuals affected by family systems, child protective services involvement, and addiction treatment settings. That experience informs practical strategies for parenting stress, blended family challenges, and communication problems. Sessions in Spanish are available for people who prefer that language.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The process is intended to clarify goals and choose which skills or approaches to start with.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values and keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to them. This approach helps people clarify priorities and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable steps and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can happen in the first session and be adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The practice’s session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a workday break, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when life is busy. Some formats also let people choose whether to be on camera or not, which can make it easier to focus on skills and planning without adding extra stress.
