About Gloria
Gloria Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and who are coping with grief, trauma, depression, relationship or intimacy concerns, and addictive behaviors. Gloria uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people feel steadier day to day.
Gloria emphasizes clear, step-by-step work in sessions. She often helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with skills that reduce emotional intensity.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative; clients set goals and move at a pace that feels manageable. Her background includes long-term clinical practice across a range of concerns such as sleep and eating issues, attention differences, bipolar disorder, and self-esteem challenges. She also addresses more specific areas like gender dysphoria, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and sexual assault and abuse.
That breadth informs how she tailors interventions to each person’s life. Gloria draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical skills to teach coping tools. She also uses attachment-informed and client-centered ways of working to create space for people to feel heard and understood.
The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes. People who meet with Gloria can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through immediate worries and to build plans for longer term change. She encourages small, testable steps so progress can be noticed and adjusted over time.
How Gloria’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move life in the right direction, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In short, it helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and build routines that reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships get strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will help decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT, or a mix feels like the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper, interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping treatment focused and practical.
