    About Gloria

    Gloria Hanania is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career challenges, and depression. Gloria aims to make the first step feel less daunting and supports clients through early decisions about starting care.

    She uses clear, practical methods during sessions. Gloria draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and honor each person's pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop more workable habits.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing change or feeling stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy features in her work to set small, concrete goals and track progress across sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past events continue to affect current life.

    In the room she prioritizes an open tone where feelings and thoughts can be shared without judgment. She works with people to set realistic, step-by-step plans rather than promising quick fixes. Sessions are meant to be a collaborative effort aimed at real-world improvements.

    Gloria also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication struggles, addiction, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, money issues, multicultural concerns, and seasonal affective disorder. She invites prospective clients to take the first step and complete the intake process to see if her style fits their needs.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions and change

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist offers few judgments and follows the client's lead, helping people name what matters most and move at their own pace.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In simple, practical steps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions.

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to strengthen commitment and work through mixed feelings about taking next steps.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes shorter check-ins easier to manage, or removes the need to travel. The practical aim is to make consistent progress while fitting sessions into everyday life.
