About Gloria

Gloria Holland is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses related issues such as codependency, attachment struggles, and caregiving stress.

Gloria uses straightforward talk therapy methods to help people untangle repeating patterns that cause distress. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify and change unhelpful thoughts. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful events when needed.

Work in sessions is practical and focused. Gloria helps clients notice how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact. She supports people in building clearer boundaries, improving communication, and reducing overwhelm. Sessions often include skill practice and small behavior changes between meetings.

Her background includes long experience with addictions and grief work, and with couples and family concerns. Gloria applies Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand internal parts that pull them toward people-pleasing or avoidance. She helps clients learn steps to feel more grounded and make different choices.

People who come for help can expect a steady, experienced clinician who values direct conversation and concrete tools. To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session to clarify goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How Gloria Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Gloria draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on clear problems such as anxious thinking, avoidance, or patterns that feed codependent behavior, and include practical exercises to try between meetings.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach attention skills and grounding practices. These tools help reduce reactivity and make it easier to notice urges to people-please or withdraw. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to shape current responses; this work looks at how memories and triggers affect daily life and aims to reduce their hold.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Gloria will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest strategies to test out. She adapts methods over time based on what helps the person feel steadier and more in control.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't practical. Discussing preferred formats is part of the initial scheduling step so sessions can fit everyday life.
