About Gloria
Gloria Gitlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She has worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and several agencies. Gloria combines her training in psychology with an earlier Ph.D. in linguistics to look closely at how language shapes thought and behavior.
She believes thoughts influence actions and feelings. Gloria spends sessions helping people notice the ideas and beliefs that guide their reactions. From that basis she and the client look for small shifts in thinking that change how situations feel and play out.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem. Gloria also supports people working through guilt and shame, communication problems, control issues, life changes, and questions of life purpose or self-love.
In practice she draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and move toward them, and attachment-based and dialectical skills to manage emotions and relationships.
Gloria describes counseling as a joint effort to uncover the thoughts and beliefs that cause disruption. She guides people in examining those patterns and testing different ways of thinking. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and more options for moving forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Gloria uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and test the thoughts that shape feelings and actions. CBT breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can try different responses and notice what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common thread in her work; ACT helps people clarify personal values and take steps toward them even when painful emotions remain. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Gloria will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adapting techniques from several approaches rather than following a single method rigidly.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. Many people find that these practical gains help them keep therapy consistent while working on thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship habits with a licensed professional.
