About Gladys
Gladys Lopez is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in California with ten years of clinical experience.

She helps people who are struggling with motivation, career decisions, and the self-doubt that follows big life changes.
Background and approach
Conversations center on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life. Gladys adapts each session to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Communication difficulties, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, and workplace strain are common topics she addresses.
She also supports women navigating role changes and young adults finding their footing. Sessions mix problem-solving with attention to personal values and strengths. Gladys offers therapy in both English and Spanish.
Over the years she has worked with a variety of concerns and keeps sessions focused and practical. She encourages clients to notice small improvements and to build on those wins. Her approach is collaborative.
Clients help set the agenda and choose what feels most useful. Gladys emphasizes steady progress through manageable actions and clear conversation.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Gladys uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional coping. One common approach involves teaching skills for managing anxiety and stress such as breathing, grounding, and structured problem-solving to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on building confidence and self-esteem through goal setting, behavior change, and reshaping unhelpful self-talk to support clearer decision making at work and in relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, then adapt techniques that fit the person's life. Sessions are tailored over time so methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and work in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
