   About Gloria

   Gloria Stahl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She supports clients facing life changes, struggles with self-esteem, and concerns related to LGBT issues. Gloria works to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday life.

   Gloria completed a Master of Social Work at Campbellsville University in a clinical program with a focus on social justice and compassionate care. She has four years of clinical experience and has supported people at many life stages, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, in building skills to manage mood and worry.

   In sessions she emphasizes clear, practical strategies. Expect cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to improve emotional regulation. She also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.

   Gloria aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where people can practice new approaches and try small experiments between meetings. She focuses on skill-building for daily life, such as managing panic symptoms, reducing negative self-talk, and improving communication. The tone is caring and relatable while keeping sessions structured so progress is measurable.

   People who want practical tools, steady support, and collaborative planning may find her style helpful. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the intake steps on the site to match with her and schedule a first appointment.

2. How approaches like Motivational Interviewing and ACT work online

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on conversations that help people find their own reasons to change. In practice this means the therapist asks curious, nonjudgmental questions and reflects what the person says to strengthen motivation and commitment to small steps.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while taking actions that fit their values. It uses simple exercises to clarify what matters most and to build small, consistent habits toward that direction.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as needs change, and sessions will focus on practical experiments and skill practice.
   
   Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments between meetings so therapy connects to everyday life.
