About Gloria
Gloria Gitlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She brings a background in psychology and a prior doctoral degree in linguistics to her counseling work. Gloria pays attention to how language and thought shape feelings and behavior.
She speaks English and works with people who want clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Her sessions are practical and talk-focused. She helps people look at thoughts, beliefs, and feelings to see what drives actions.
Background and approach
Gloria believes small shifts in perception can change daily life and reduce stress and anxiety. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. She often addresses anxiety, stress, depression, addiction concerns, and trauma and abuse.
Other areas she helps with include self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, control issues, and social anxiety. Gloria also supports people through divorce, grief, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation. Her work often explores how thinking patterns affect behavior.
She guides clients to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different perspectives. That process aims to reduce misunderstandings and lessen emotional reactivity. Gloria frames counseling as a process of uncovering the roots of a problem.
She partners with people to gain insight and practical skills. The goal is to help clients feel more in control and find a more fulfilling, harmonious life.
Approach and online care for thinking and feeling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about and can be useful for anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships and can help with relationship struggles and patterns of avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria uses these methods as tools and will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. She listens to goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to match what a person needs in the moment.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for full conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice new skills in real life.
