   About Gloria

   Gloria Gitlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of counseling experience from settings that include private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and several agencies. Gloria also has a background in teaching and holds a master’s degree in psychology alongside a Ph.D. in linguistics, which shapes how she pays attention to language and thought in sessions.

   Her work focuses on how thinking affects feelings and behavior. She helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and how those patterns influence actions. Conversations aim to surface beliefs that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, or life transitions.

   Gloria uses a mix of approaches that match a person’s needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques as useful tools in different moments. The goal is practical change rather than labels or jargon.

   Sessions involve exploring thoughts, feelings, and the situations that lead to repeated problems. Gloria helps people trace how perceptions shape behavior, then work toward small, doable changes. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.

   Clients work together with Gloria to identify steps that fit their daily life. She emphasizes clearer thinking and small behavior shifts to reduce conflict and increase well-being.

2. How approaches like ACT and Motivational Interviewing work online

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal motivation for change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance to move someone from hesitation toward action, which can help with addictions, behavior change, and motivation struggles.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move people toward a fuller life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That means sessions can mix techniques and evolve as progress is made, with the client helping guide what feels most useful.
   
   The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations when bandwidth or video is difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available session types before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
